Instructions
- 1
Remove the stems and seeds from the dried guajillo and ancho chiles, then turn them in a pan for 40 seconds, until fragrant.
40 sec00:40 - 2
Soften the chiles in hot water for 12 minutes.
12 min12:00 - 3
Blend the chiles with the onion, garlic, tomatoes, apple cider vinegar, cumin, thyme, and half of the salt until smooth.
- 4
Put the beef brisket and beef shank in a pot, then add the chile sauce, bay leaves, remaining salt, and 5 cups of water.
- 5
Cook the meat over low heat for 150 minutes, until it pulls apart into fibers.
2 hr 30 min150:00 - 6
Remove and shred the meat, then ladle the fatty part of the consome into a separate bowl.
- 7
Dip the corn tortillas in the consome fat, fill with shredded meat, and fry for 2 minutes on each side.
4 min04:00 - 8
Serve the tacos with white onion, cilantro or parsley, lime, and consome on the side.
💡 Tip: Warm the dried chiles in the pan without burning them; scorched chiles give the consome a lasting bitterness and hide the sweetness of the meat.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve the tacos with onion, cilantro, lime, and a bowl of consome on the side; plain soda works well instead of ayran if desired.
