Add 10 Roma tomatoes, 1 piece of onion, 2 jalapenos, and 3 chile debol to a saucepan and cover with water.

Set the saucepan over high heat and bring to a boil.

Once boiling, transfer the tomatoes and chilies to a blender, removing the water from the pot.

To the blender, add 3 garlic cloves, 2 bay leaves, oregano, chicken bullion, and 1/2 cup of water; blend until smooth.

Pour the blended sauce back into the same saucepan and set over medium heat, ensuring it is dry before adding oil.

Heat oil in the saucepan, then pour in the sauce and bring to a simmer; taste and adjust salt if needed.

Set the sauce aside on the lowest heat to keep warm.

In another pan, cover the bottom with oil and heat over medium heat.

Lightly fry each corn tortilla for 5 seconds or until it bubbles, then remove from oil and repeat with remaining tortillas.

Stuff each tortilla with leftover chicken, queso fresco, and onion, then dip into the sauce before rolling up.

Place the rolled tortillas on a plate and top with sauce, drizzle with crema meana, and garnish with queso fresco, cilantro, and tomato slices.
