Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 lbs beef chuck roast, cut into large chunks
  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil or olive oil
  • 4 dried guajillo chilies, stemmed and seeded
  • 2 dried ancho chilies, stemmed and seeded
  • 1 chipotle pepper in adobo sauce
  • 4 garlic cloves, peeled
  • 1 small white onion, quartered
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano (preferably Mexican oregano)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 2 cups low sodium beef broth
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Low-carb tortillas or cheese crisps
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
  • Fresh lime wedges (for serving)
  • Diced white onion (optional garnish)

Instructions

  1. Place dried guajillo and ancho chilies in a bowl and cover with hot water. Soak for about 20 minutes until softened.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon avocado oil over medium-high heat in a Dutch oven. Season beef chunks with salt and pepper. Brown beef on all sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
  3. Drain softened chilies and add to blender with chipotle pepper, garlic cloves, quartered onion, cumin, oregano, cinnamon, and apple cider vinegar. Add about 1/2 cup soaking liquid or fresh water and puree until smooth.
  4. Pour chili sauce into Dutch oven, scraping up browned bits. Return seared beef to pot and add 2 cups beef broth. Bring to low simmer, cover, and cook gently for about 2 hours until beef is fork-tender.
  5. Remove beef chunks and set aside. Strain cooking liquid through fine mesh sieve to create clear consommé broth. Adjust salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Shred beef using two forks into bite-sized pieces. Return shredded beef to consommé or keep separate for dipping.
  7. Warm low-carb tortillas or prepare cheese crisps. Assemble tacos by piling shredded beef, drizzling consommé broth, and garnishing with chopped cilantro, diced onion, and fresh lime wedges.

Notes

Soak dried chilies to unlock flavor and prevent gritty sauce. Sear beef in batches to avoid steaming. Slow and low simmering yields tender meat. Adjust seasoning after straining consommé. Add more broth if consommé is too intense. Leftovers taste better after resting overnight. Freeze beef and broth separately for up to 3 months.
