Cooking Steps
- In a skillet over medium heat, gently toast the dried guajillo, ancho, and chipotle chiles for about 1-2 minutes, until they exude a fragrant aroma.
- Once toasted, transfer the chiles to a bowl and cover them with hot water. Let them soak for about 15 minutes until they become soft and pliable.
- After soaking, drain the chiles and place them in a blender with minced garlic, chopped onion, cumin, oregano, cinnamon, cloves, apple cider vinegar, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth.
- In your slow cooker, add the beef chuck roast cut into large chunks. Pour the blended marinade over the beef, ensuring it's thoroughly coated.
- Pour the beef broth and water into the slow cooker over the beef and marinade mixture. Gently stir to combine.
- Cover the slow cooker and set it to cook on low for 8 hours or on high for 4-5 hours until the beef is tender.
- Carefully remove the beef from the slow cooker once cooked and shred it into bite-sized pieces. Return it to the slow cooker, mixing with the sauce.
- Before assembling your tacos, preheat a skillet over medium heat and warm the corn tortillas for about 30 seconds on each side.
- Load your warm tortillas with the shredded birria, then garnish with chopped cilantro and diced onion.
- Serve your tacos with lime wedges on the side for a zesty kick.
