Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs chuck roast
- 4 dried guajillo chiles
- 1 large sweet onion (chopped)
- 4 cloves garlic (minced)
- 3 cups beef broth
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp salt
- 12 corn tortillas
- Fresh cilantro (for garnish)
- Lime wedges (for serving)
Instructions
- Prepare the Chiles: Boil dried guajillo chiles in water for about five minutes until softened. Allow to cool.
- Blend It Up: In a blender, combine softened chiles, chopped onion, minced garlic, cumin, oregano, salt, and beef broth. Blend until smooth.
- Season the Meat: Place chuck roast in the crockpot and pour the blended sauce over it, ensuring it is well-coated.
- Slow Cook Magic: Set the crockpot on low for about eight hours or until the meat shreds easily with a fork.
- Shred That Beef: Remove the chuck roast from the pot and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded beef to the broth to soak up more flavor.
- For Assembling Tacos: Warm tortillas briefly in a skillet or microwave. Fill each tortilla with shredded birria meat and top with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice.
