Preparation:

Step 1
• Place the ancho pepper, pasilla, and garlic in a bowl with 2-3 tablespoons of water. Microwave on high until the peppers are soft and pliable, 2-3 minutes. Remove the stems and seeds from the peppers and peel the garlic. Transfer the peppers and garlic to a blender.
Step 2
• In a blender, add the chipotle pepper, onion, 2 tablespoons olive oil, honey, vinegar, 1 tablespoon salt, and oregano; puree until smooth. In a large skillet over high heat, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Add the chili sauce and cook, stirring, until thickened and fragrant, about 8 minutes. Pour in the broth and reduce until slightly thickened.
Step 3
• Season the pork with salt and pepper and place in a large slow cooker. Add the bay leaves and cinnamon stick, then pour in the sauce. Close the lid and cook at maximum heat until the meat is tender, about 5 hours. (Or, cook the meat in a large roasting pan in the oven, covered, for 1 hour 45 minutes at 350°F (180°C). Uncover and bake for an additional 30 minutes.)
  
  Discard the bay leaves and cinnamon stick. Shred the pork with two forks and season with salt and pepper. Serve the pork pieces on a plate. tortillas with fillings.
