Cooking the Meat

  1. 1

    Prepare the Meat

    In a large pot, combine the beef chuck roast, dried guajillo chiles, dried ancho chiles, garlic cloves, cumin, oregano, bay leaves, beef broth, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 2-3 hours until the meat is tender.

    Once the meat is cooked, remove it from the pot, shred it with two forks, and set aside. Strain the broth and reserve for dipping.

Preparing Salsa

    Blend tomatoes, chopped jalapeño, cilantro, lime juice, and salt until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Assembling Tacos

    Assemble Tacos

    Warm corn tortillas on a skillet, fill each with shredded beef, top with Monterey Jack cheese, diced onion, and chopped cilantro. Serve with salsa, lime wedges, and the reserved broth for dipping.
