Instructions

1
Toast dried chilies in a dry skillet for 1-2 minutes. Place in a bowl and cover with hot water for 15 minutes to soften.

Blend the softened chilies, onion, garlic, cumin, oregano, vinegar, and 1 cup of broth until smooth.
3
Season beef with salt. In a Dutch oven, sear the beef on all sides. Pour the blended sauce and remaining broth over the beef.
4
Bring to a simmer, then cover and cook on low heat for 3-4 hours, or until beef is fork-tender. Shred the beef in the pot.
5
Strain the broth (consommé) and keep it warm. Dip a tortilla in the consommé, place it in a hot skillet, add shredded beef and cheese, fold, and cook until crispy on both sides. Serve tacos with a side of consommé for dipping.
