Method
Prepare the Meat
- In a Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add beef chunks and sear until browned on all sides.
- Remove beef and set aside. In the same pot, add chopped onion and garlic, sauté until softened.
Make the Broth
- In a blender, combine guajillo and ancho chiles with 1 cup of beef broth. Blend until smooth.
- Add the blended mixture to the pot with onions and garlic. Stir in remaining broth, water, cumin, oregano, black pepper, salt, and bay leaves.
- Return the beef to the pot, bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 3-4 hours until the meat is tender.
Assemble the Tacos
- Once the meat is tender, remove it from the pot and shred it with two forks.
- Warm the corn tortillas in a skillet or on a griddle. Fill each tortilla with shredded beef, and top with chopped cilantro and diced onion.
- Serve with lime wedges and the broth for dipping.

Notes
