Creating Birria Tacos requires several steps to ensure you capture that authentic flavor. Follow these instructions for a delightful experience:

1. Prepare the Chiles: Remove stems and seeds from the guajillo and ancho chiles. Place them in a saucepan with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil and simmer for 10-15 minutes until softened.

2. Blend the Sauce: Using a blender, combine the softened chiles, garlic, chopped onion, cumin, oregano, black pepper, and salt. Add a cup of beef stock and blend until smooth.

3. Sear the Meat: In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat some oil over medium-high heat. Add the beef chuck and sear on all sides until browned (about 5 minutes). Remove the beef and set aside.

4. Combine Ingredients: Pour the chile sauce back into the pot and bring to a simmer. Add the beef back into the pot along with bay leaves and remaining beef stock.

5. Slow Cook: Cover and simmer for about 2-3 hours or until the meat is tender and easily shredded with a fork. You can also use a slow cooker for this step on low for about 6-8 hours.

6. Shred the Meat: Once tender, remove the meat from the pot. Shred it with two forks and discard excess fat. Strain and reserve the cooking liquid.

7. Prepare Tortillas: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Dip each corn tortilla into the reserved broth for a few seconds to absorb flavor.

8. Assemble Tacos: In the skillet, place the dipped tortillas and fill them with shredded beef. Fold and cook for a minute on each side until crispy.

9. Serve with Consommé: Garnish tacos with chopped onions and cilantro. Serve immediately with a side of the reserved consommé for dipping.

10. Enjoy: Add lime wedges and jalapeños for an extra burst of flavor when serving.

By following these steps, you’ll create delectable Birria Tacos that are sure to leave your taste buds dancing!
