Instructions

In a large pot, soak guajillo and ancho peppers in hot water for 15 minutes until soft. Blend with garlic, onion, cumin, oregano, and a bit of the soaking water until smooth.
Season beef with salt and sear in a pot until browned. Add blended sauce and beef broth.
Simmer on low heat for 180 minutes until tender.
Shred beef and set aside.
In a separate pan, fry tortillas in some of the beef fat, adding cheese and beef to one side and folding in half until cheese melts.
Serve hot with consomé on the side and topped with fresh cilantro and lime.

Notes

Marinating the beef overnight can enhance the flavor. Use the beef fat for frying tortillas for authentic taste.
