Method
Prepare the Birria Stew
- In a large pot, combine beef chuck roast, lamb shank, and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 2 hours.
- In a separate pot, soak guajillo and ancho chiles in hot water for 15 minutes until soft.
- Blend soaked chiles with onion, garlic, cumin, oregano, black pepper, and salt until smooth.
- Add the blended mixture to the pot with meat, along with beef broth. Simmer for an additional 1.5 hours until meat is tender.
- Remove meat from the pot, shred it, and return it to the broth. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
Make the Tacos
- Heat a skillet over medium heat. Dip tortillas in the birria broth, then place them on the skillet.
- Add shredded meat to one half of the tortilla, sprinkle with cilantro and onion, then fold the tortilla over.
- Cook until crispy on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Serve tacos with lime wedges and a small bowl of birria broth for dipping.

Notes
For extra flavor, you can marinate the meat in the blended spice mixture overnight before cooking.
