Directions for Birria Nachos

Prepare the Birria
In a large pot, soak guajillo and ancho chiles in hot water for 15 minutes. Drain and blend with garlic, onion, cumin, oregano, salt, and pepper until smooth. In a separate pot, sear the beef cheeks until browned, then add the blended sauce and beef broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 2-3 hours until the beef is tender.
