  1. Prepare the Chilies:
    • Remove the stems and seeds from the dried chilies.
    • Toast them in a dry skillet over medium heat for a few seconds on each side until they become fragrant. Be careful not to burn them.
    • Soak the toasted chilies in hot water for about 15-20 minutes until they become soft.
  2. Make the Birria Sauce:
    • In a blender, combine the soaked chilies, chopped onion, minced garlic, ground cumin, dried oregano, smoked paprika, ground cloves, ground cinnamon, salt, and pepper.
    • Blend until you have a smooth paste. You may need to add some of the soaking liquid to help the blending process.
  3. Cook the Birria:
    • Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
    • Brown the meat in the pot for a few minutes on each side until it develops a nice crust.
    • Add the blended chili mixture to the pot and stir to coat the meat.
    • Pour in the beef broth or water, add the bay leaves, and bring the mixture to a simmer.
    • Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let the birria simmer for 2-3 hours, or until the meat is tender and the flavors have melded together. You can also use a slow cooker for this step.
  4. Prepare the Tacos:
    • Once the meat is tender, remove it from the pot and shred it using two forks.
    • Heat a skillet over medium heat and warm the corn tortillas on both sides until they are soft and pliable.
    • Fill each tortilla with a portion of the shredded birria meat.
    • Fold the tortillas over to form tacos.
  5. Serve:
    • Garnish the birria tacos with diced onion, cilantro, and a squeeze of lime juice.
    • Serve with salsa or hot sauce on the side, if desired.

Enjoy your delicious birria tacos! They are perfect for any occasion, especially when served with a warm consommé for dipping.
