Meat and Broth

Tacos and Toppings

Method

Preparing the Meat

  1. 1

    Brown the Meat

    In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat. Season the chuck roast and short ribs with salt and black pepper. Brown the meat on all sides for about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Broth

    Remove the meat from the pot and set aside. In the same pot, add the chopped onion and garlic cloves, sautéing until soft and fragrant.

  3. 3

    Soak the Chiles

    While the onion and garlic are cooking, remove the stems and seeds from the guajillo and ancho chiles. In a bowl, soak them in hot water for about 15 minutes until soft.

  4. 4

    Blend the Sauce

    Drain the chiles and add them to a blender with the sautéed onion and garlic, cumin, oregano, and a cup of the beef broth. Blend until smooth.

  5. 5

    Combine Everything

    Return the meat to the pot, pour the blended sauce over, add the remaining beef broth, bay leaves, and the cinnamon stick. Bring to a simmer.

  6. 6

    Cook the Meat

    Cover the pot and reduce heat to low. Let it cook for about 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the meat is tender and easily shredded.

Preparing the Tacos

  1. 7

    Shred the Meat

    Once the meat is tender, remove it from the pot and shred it using two forks. Set aside.

  2. 8

    Warm the Tortillas

    In a skillet, warm the corn tortillas over medium heat until pliable, about 30 seconds on each side.

  3. 9

    Assemble the Tacos

    Fill each tortilla with shredded meat, and top with chopped onion, cilantro, and sliced radishes.

  4. 10

    Serve

    Serve the tacos with lime wedges and salsa on the side. Enjoy!
