Ingredients
Method
Prepare the Birria
- In a pot, boil the guajillo and ancho chiles in water for about 10 minutes until softened. Drain and transfer to a blender.
- Add the onion, garlic, cumin, oregano, black pepper, apple cider vinegar, and 1 cup of beef broth to the blender. Blend until smooth.
- In a Dutch oven, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Brown the beef chunks on all sides, then remove from the pot.
- Pour the blended sauce into the pot, add the beef back in, and pour in the remaining beef broth. Bring to a simmer.
- Cover and cook on low heat for about 3-4 hours until the beef is tender and shreds easily.
Assemble the Tacos
- Once the beef is cooked, shred it using two forks and mix it with the broth.
- In a skillet, heat the corn tortillas one at a time until warm and pliable.
- Fill each tortilla with shredded beef and a bit of broth, then fold in half.
- Serve the tacos with chopped cilantro, diced onion, and lime wedges on the side.
