6 cloves fresh garlic
2 tsp ground cumin
1 large onion (chopped)
2 bay leaves
12 corn tortillas
1 cup fresh cilantro (chopped)
2 lime wedges

Instructions

Trim excess fat from the chuck roast and cut it into large chunks.
Soak guajillo peppers in boiling water for about 10 minutes until soft.
Blend soaked peppers with garlic, chopped onion, cumin, and 2 cups beef broth until smooth.
In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat oil and brown the meat chunks on all sides. Add the blended sauce and bay leaves.
Reduce heat to low and simmer for about 2 hours until the meat is fork-tender.
Shred the meat using two forks and dip each tortilla briefly into the reserved broth. Fill with shredded meat, top with cilantro, and squeeze lime over each taco before serving.
