Ingredients
Method
Preparation of the sauce
- In a pot, add the dried chilies and cover them with water. Boil for about 10 minutes until softened, then blend with garlic, onion, beef broth, cumin, oregano, and salt to create a flavorful sauce.
Cooking the beef
- Brown the beef chuck on all sides in a pan over medium heat for added flavor.
- Pour the prepared sauce over the beef in a slow cooker and set it to cook on low for 6 to 8 hours, or until the meat is fork-tender.
- Once the beef is cooked, shred it using two forks; it should fall apart easily.
Assembling the tacos
- In a skillet, heat the corn tortillas slightly and lightly toast them.
- Fill each tortilla with a portion of the shredded beef and a sprinkle of Oaxacan cheese, then fold and fry the tacos until crispy on both sides.
Serving
- Serve the tacos garnished with chopped cilantro and lime wedges, alongside a small bowl of consomé for dipping.
Notes
For more depth of flavor, consider marinating the beef overnight in the spices before cooking. Adjust the number of dried chilies for a spicier sauce. Other meats such as pork or chicken can be used as substitutes. Customize toppings with diced onions, avocado, or sour cream as desired. For a vegetarian version, use jackfruit or mushrooms.
