Quarter the whole Romas and add them to a saucepan on the stove.

Add black peppercorns, Mexican cinnamon stick, bay leaves, coriander seeds, cumin, cloves, and Mexican oregano to the pot.

Cover the pot and simmer the spices and tomatoes for 15-20 minutes until soft.

Add the browned meat back into the pot with the spices and tomatoes.

Transfer the mixture to a blender in batches and pulse until smooth, being careful of steam.

Strain the blended mixture to remove solids and return the liquid to the pot.

Add apple cider vinegar, beef broth, and salt to taste.

Set the Ninja Foodi to slow cook on high for 6 hours.

After 6 hours, remove the meat and shred it using gloves or forks.
