Remove the stems and seeds from the dried chilies and soak them in hot water for 20 minutes.
Blend the chilies with the tomatoes, garlic, and spices into a smooth sauce.
Salt the meat and sear it in the pot for 8 minutes, until every side takes on color.
Pour the sauce over the meat and add the bay leaves and water.
Cook the meat over low heat for 3 hours, until it pulls apart into fibers.
Shred the meat and rest it in the hot consome for 10 minutes so it absorbs the sauce.
💡 Tip: Soak the chilies in hot water; the dry skins will not leave grit in the blender.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve with corn tortillas, onion, cilantro, and the cooking broth.
