STEPS

1

Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C). Fill a pot with water and bring to a boil.

2

Add guajillo, arbol, and ancho chile peppers to the boiling water and boil for 5 minutes.

Remove the pot from heat and soak the peppers until cool. Drain, reserving 1/4 cup of the cooking water.

Rinse and pat dry the beef. Cut into chunks, season with salt and pepper.

5

Heat oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add beef, sear until browned on all sides, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat.

6

Grill tomatoes on a lined griddle over high heat until skins are charred and peel, 3-5 minutes.

7

Blend chile peppers, grilled tomatoes, vinegar, garlic, spices, and reserved chile water until smooth.

8

Strain the sauce and pour over browned meat in Dutch oven. Cover meat with the sauce.

9

Bake in preheated oven, basting every 45 minutes, for 3-4 hours until meat is tender. Remove lid and bake uncovered for 20 minutes.

10

Let the dish rest for 10 minutes after baking. Shred the meat and combine with the sauce.

11

Assemble tacos with meat, cheese, onion, and cilantro. Grill tortillas until crispy and cheese is melted.
