Method
Preparation
- In a large pot, add the chuck roast, short ribs, halved onion, garlic bulb, carrot, bay leaves, and guajillo chiles. Pour in hot water until everything is submerged. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
- Once boiling, stir in the chicken bouillon, oregano, cumin, and salt to taste. Ensure it doesn't boil too vigorously to avoid toughening the meat.
- After 30 minutes, skim off any impurities that rise to the surface for a clearer broth.
- Blend the softened guajillo chiles, onion, garlic, and carrot in a blender until smooth, adding some broth if necessary for consistency.
- Strain the blended mixture back into the pot, discarding solids.
- Season the broth with chili powder to taste and simmer for about 3 hours on low heat until the meat is tender.
- Once cooked, remove the meat and shred it using two forks, retaining some texture.
- Skim off grease from the broth, reserving it for frying the tortillas.
Assembly
- Heat the tortillas in the reserved grease over medium heat until warm and slightly crispy.
- Fill each tortilla with shredded meat, diced onions, cilantro, and a squeeze of fresh lime juice.
Notes
For deeper flavors, consider marinating the meat overnight. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. For freezing, keep in an airtight bag for up to 3 months.
