Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of organic beef stock to a boil. Remove from heat and add 3 dried guajillo chiles and 2 dried ancho chiles. Soak for 15-20 minutes until softened.
- Blend the softened chiles with 1 chopped onion, 4 garlic cloves, 1 can of crushed tomatoes, 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar, and spices until smooth for the chili paste.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Heat a Dutch oven over medium-high heat and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
- Season the 3-4 pounds of organic chuck roast beef with salt and pepper, sear it until browned on all sides, about 3-4 minutes per side, then set aside.
- In the same pot, add chopped onions and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the chili paste and simmer for 5-7 minutes.
- Return the seared beef to the pot, pour in 2 more cups of beef stock along with enough water to cover the meat. Toss in bay leaves and simmer.
- Cover and transfer to the oven, braising for approximately 2.5 hours until the beef is tender.
- Remove the pot, let it cool slightly, shred the beef, and mix with the consomé.
- Dip each corn tortilla into the consomé, heat a skillet with olive oil, and fry the tortillas until golden and crispy.
- Fill tortillas with shredded beef, top with Oaxaca cheese, cilantro, and pico de gallo, then serve hot.
- Place tacos on a platter with consomé for dipping.

Notes
For optimal flavor, blend spices well and allow meat to marinate in the consomé before serving.
