    1.Remove seeds from the dried chiles, then soak them in hot water for 10 minutes.

    2.Blend the soaked chiles, onion, garlic, tomatoes, cumin, paprika, and oregano with 1 cup of beef broth until smooth.

    3.Season the beef with salt and pepper. Sear in a large pot until browned on all sides.

    4.Pour the blended sauce over the beef, add bay leaves, and the remaining beef broth.

    5.Simmer on low heat for 3-4 hours, or until the beef is tender and shreds easily. (Alternatively, use a pressure cooker or slow cooker.)

    6.Shred the beef and return it to the sauce.

    2. Assemble the Quesatacos:

    2.Sprinkle a generous amount of cheese on one side, then add shredded birria meat.

    3.Fold the tortilla over to form a taco and cook until crispy on both sides.

    3. Serve:

    •Garnish with chopped cilantro and onion, and serve with a side of the birria consommé for dipping.
