  In a medium-size container, combine beef broth with tomato puree, Worcestershire sauce and ground cumin. Pour the mixture over the meat. Add chopped tomatoes, sautéed onions, pepper and cilantro. Cover the slow cooker and set to cook on low for 7-8 hours or until the meat is tender and can be pulled apart easily. Turn off the slow cooker and shred the meat with the help of 2 forks.

  For the quesadillas: Heat the flour tortillas on a comal or on a nonstick frying pan on medium-low heat until they are soft so you can bend them easily. Add 2-3 tablespoons of grated cheese to each tortilla and 2-3 tablespoons of carne mechada. Fold quesadillas in half and toast them on the comal or frying pan until they are lightly golden and the cheese has melted.
