4 chile New Mexico peppers with seeds removed
5 bay leaves
2 inches of ginger
12 black peppercorns
4 cloves
15 fresh Mexican oregano leaves chopped
8 springs of fresh thyme (used instead of marjoram because my marjoram plants aren’t big enough yet)
water to cover
Knorr beef bouillon and salt to taste

Boil until beef is tender. Remove dried chiles, tomatoes and onions and blend with some of the liquid. Strain if you don’t have a good blender and return to pot. Remove and chop the beef, sprinkle liberally with kosher salt and mix in a little of the stock.

Add chopped beef, chopped cabbage, chopped onion and cilantro, and shredded panela or mozzarella cheese. Fold in half and fry unril crispy.
