Flour Bowl

Heat a pot and add oil. When hot, season the beef with salt and pepper, then add it to the pot to sear.

1

Add onions and cook then remove from heat. Remove the stems and seeds from the dried chile peppers. 

2

In a pot, combine the chiles, tomatoes, the other half of the onions, garlic cloves, cinnamon stick and bay leaf.

3

Add water. Place it on the stove and bring to a boil. Reduce to low, and let it simmer uncovered for 10 minutes.

4

Add all of the remaining seasonings to the pot, including oregano, cumin seeds, thyme, salt, and peppercorns. Stir, and let simmer for 10 minutes.

5

Pour the sauce and vegetable mixture into a large mesh strainer over a bowl. Remove the cinnamon stick and bay leaf and discard them, then add the solids to a blender.

6

Add the sauce to the blender, plus beef broth. Blend on high until smooth, adding salt to taste.

7

Return the pot to medium heat, then pour over the vegetable sauce over the beef.

8

Let the broth come to a simmer before lowering the heat and covering, letting it simmer for 2½ to 3 hours.

9

 Using tongs, take the beef out of the sauce and place it on a cutting board, using a fork to shred it.

10

Dip a corn tortilla into the top of the stew. Place the tortilla fat-side-down on a hot skillet, then top with shredded beef, cheese, and onions

11

Fold the tortilla over, then fry for about a minute per side, until crispy. Remove from the heat and keep warm while you repeat this process for each taco.

12

Serve warm with lime slices and a dish of birria stew. To eat, dip each taco in the broth, and enjoy! The dipping sauce is absolutely key!
