Steps to follow
1
Soak the dried Guajillo and Ancho chiles in hot water for 30 minutes to rehydrate them.
2
Blend the rehydrated chiles, onion, garlic, cumin, oregano, cloves, cinnamon, and apple cider vinegar until smooth to make the marinade.
3
Season the beef chunks with salt and pepper, then coat with the marinade. Let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.
4
Place the marinated beef in a large pot, add beef broth and bay leaves. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook for about 3 hours until the meat is tender and shreds easily.
5
Shred the cooked beef. Heat a little vegetable oil in a pan, dip corn tortillas in the birria broth, then fry them in the pan. Add shredded beef to one half of the tortilla, fold, and cook until crispy. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
6
Serve the birria tacos garnished with chopped cilantro, chopped white onion, and lime wedges on the side. Enjoy your delicious birria tacos with a side of birria broth for dipping.
