Remove the seeds from the soaked chiles.

Once the chicken is cooked, shred the chicken breasts.

Prepare the sauce by adding the guajillo chiles, 3 halved tomatoes, a quarter cup of water, and half a cup of the chicken broth to a blender and blend until smooth.

Heat some oil in a pan and let it heat up.

Add the blended sauce to the hot oil and let it cook for about 3 minutes.

Add around 1 tablespoon of pepper, 1 tablespoon of salt, and a bit of cinnamon to the sauce.

Incorporate the shredded chicken into the sauce and mix well, cooking for an additional 3 minutes.

Prepare tacos with a good portion of the chicken mixture and add some previously prepared onions on top.
