Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 pounds beef chuck roast
  • 10 guajillo chiles
  • 5 ancho chiles
  • 3 arbol chiles
  • 2 Roma tomatoes
  • 1 white onion
  • 6 garlic cloves
  • 2 cups low-sodium beef broth
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • Corn tortillas
  • Oaxacan cheese

Instructions

  1. Prepare the chiles by removing stems and seeds, then toast them in a skillet over medium heat for about 2 minutes until fragrant.
  2. In a blender, combine the toasted chiles, Roma tomatoes, quartered onion, unpeeled garlic cloves, beef broth, apple cider vinegar, kosher salt, black pepper, cumin, oregano, cloves, cinnamon, ginger, and bay leaves. Blend until smooth.
  3. Place the beef chunks in a slow cooker or Dutch oven and pour the blended mixture over them. Cook on low for 8 hours or until the meat is tender and easily shredded.
  4. To assemble tacos, heat a skillet over medium heat and lightly oil if necessary. Fill corn tortillas with shredded birria meat and Oaxacan cheese, fold in half, and cook until crispy and cheese is melted.
  5. Serve hot with diced onions and chopped cilantro on top alongside warm consommé for dipping.
