Instructions
- 1
Soften the dried guajillo and ancho chiles in hot water for 12 minutes.
12 min12:00 - 2
Blend the softened chiles with the tomatoes, onion, garlic, apple cider vinegar, cumin, oregano, and 1 cup of beef stock.
- 3
Cut the beef brisket into large pieces and sear each side in the pot for 8 minutes.
8 min08:00 - 4
Add the chile sauce, remaining beef stock, bay leaves, and salt, then cook the meat over low heat for 3 hours, until it falls apart.
3 hr180:00 - 5
Shred the meat, ladle the red fat from the surface into a separate bowl, and keep the consome hot.
- 6
Dip the tortillas into the red fat, place them in a pan, add cheese and shredded meat, and fold.
- 7
Cook each taco for 1 minute per side, until browned and the cheese melts.
2 min02:00 - 8
Scatter with cilantro and serve with hot consome on the side.
💡 Tip: If Oaxaca cheese is unavailable, use dil cheese; kashar alone releases fat quickly and hardens inside the tortilla.
