Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs beef chuck roast
  • 1 lb beef short ribs
  • 4 dried guajillo chiles
  • 2 dried ancho chiles
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 2 cups shredded cheese (such as Oaxaca or mozzarella)
  • 12 corn tortillas
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  1. In a pot, toast the dried chiles until fragrant, then soak them in hot water for 15 minutes.
  2. In a blender, combine soaked chiles, onion, garlic, cumin, oregano, black pepper, and a cup of beef broth. Blend until smooth.
  3. In a large pot, add the beef chuck roast and short ribs. Pour the blended sauce over the meat and add the remaining beef broth. Season with salt.
  4. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 2-3 hours until the meat is tender.
  5. Remove the meat, shred it, and return it to the pot to soak in the broth.
  6. Heat a skillet over medium heat. Dip a tortilla in the broth, then place it in the skillet.
  7. Add shredded meat and cheese to one half of the tortilla, fold it over, and cook until the cheese melts and the tortilla is crispy.
  8. Repeat with remaining tortillas and serve with broth for dipping.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, marinate the meat overnight in the blended sauce.
  • Serve with chopped onions, cilantro, and lime for garnish.
  • Adjust the spice level by adding more or fewer chiles.
