Ingredients

• ✓ guajillo chili
• oaxaca cheese
• avocado
• cilantro
• green onion
• egg
• vegetable oil
• black pepper
• cumin
• oregano
• salt
• water
• onion
• garlic
• roma tomato
• salt
• corn tortilla
• oil

Instructions

1. 1 Place skillet on the stove over medium heat and add enough oil to reach 1 inch. Once oil is hot, add cut tortilla pieces without overcrowding the skillet. Fry tortilla pieces in the hot oil, until they crisp up and achieve a golden color, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove tortilla chips with a slotted spoon and set on a plate covered with paper towels to drain. Sprinkle with salt to taste and continue working in batches until all tortilla pieces are fried and done. Reserve frying oil.
2. 2 Set a flat griddle or comal over medium-low heat and toast guajillo chiles until fragrant, about 20 seconds per side.
3. 3 Combine toasted chiles, tomatoes, and garlic in a saucepan and cover with hot water. Simmer over medium-low heat until guajillos are softened and tomatoes are cooked through, about 10 minutes. Reserve 1/2 cup cooking liquid.
4. 4 Combine chiles, tomatoes, garlic, onion, 1 teaspoon salt, oregano, cumin, pepper, and reserved liquid in a blender. Blend on high until smooth. Strain sauce.
5. 5 Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a saucepan set over medium-high heat. Once oil is hot, pour in sauce, and simmer until salsa thickens, 12 to 15 minutes. Adjust seasoning if desired.
6. 6 Heat 1 tablespoon of reserved frying oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add all tortilla chips once oil is hot and reheat for 1 minute. Pour in eggs and cook and stir until eggs are beginning to set. Add salsa and gently fold into the egg mixture until everything is covered in salsa and the eggs are cooked, about 2 minutes.
7. 7 Remove from the heat and serve immediately topped with green onions, cilantro, avocado, and cheese.

Ingredients

• ✓ guajillo chili
• pasilla chile
• water
• pork tenderloin
• pineapple juice
• white vinegar
• garlic
• chipotle pepper
• cinnamon
• cayenne pepper
• ground cumin
• oregano
• vegetable oil
• salt
• corn tortilla
• monterey jack cheese
• vegetable oil
• cabbage
• tomato salsa
• jalapeno pepper

Instructions

1. 1 Place dried guajillo and pasilla chiles into a bowl and pour in boiling water to cover. Let chiles stand 30 minutes to soften.
2. 2 Cut pork tenderloins in half crosswise and in half again lengthwise again to make 8 long strips.
3. 3 Drain water from chiles and pour in pineapple juice and vinegar. Add garlic cloves, chipotle pepper, cinnamon, cayenne pepper, cumin, and oregano. Transfer chile mixture to a blender and blend to make a smooth marinade.
4. 4 Place pork into a resealable plastic bag and pour marinade over pork; knead bag several times to coat pork. Squeeze out excess air and seal the bag. Refrigerate overnight.
5. 5 Preheat outdoor grill (preferably charcoal) for high heat and lightly oil the grate.
6. 6 Remove pork from bag and drain and discard marinade; transfer pork to a platter. Drizzle meat with 1 tablespoon vegetable oil and season with salt. Use tongs to gently stir pork pieces to coat lightly with oil.
7. 7 Cook pork strips on preheated grill until meat shows good grill marks and is lightly pink in the center, 7 to 8 minutes per side. An instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the center of the largest piece should read at least 145 degrees F (65 degrees C). Transfer pork to a fresh platter.
8. 8 Drizzle a nonstick skillet with 1 teaspoon vegetable oil and place over medium heat. Lay a tortilla into the hot oil and place 1 slice of Monterey Jack cheese into center of the tortilla. Cook until tortilla is hot, lightly browned on the bottom, and cheese has melted, 1 to 2 minutes. Repeat with remaining tortillas and cheese slices. Transfer each tortilla to a plate.
9. 9 Slice pork strips across the grain into pieces about 1/4 inch thick. Divide shredded cabbage onto each tortilla and top each with about 6 slices of pork, 1 tablespoon roasted tomato salsa, and a few slices of jalapeno pepper. Fold taco over fillings to eat.

Ingredients

• ✓ guajillo chili
• cumin seed
• clove
• water
• ancho chile powder
• onion
• garlic
• oregano
• thyme
• apple cider vinegar
• lime juice
• beef chuck roast
• bay leaf

Instructions

1. 1 Heat a heavy skillet over medium heat. Place dried guajillo chiles into the skillet and cook, turning occasionally, until the color changes and chiles have puffed, about 5 minutes. Set chiles aside to cool for a moment. Meanwhile, toast cumin and cloves in the hot skillet until cumin seeds begin to pop; remove from the pan and set aside. Remove and discard stems, seeds, and veins of chiles, and place into a small bowl. Pour boiling water over top, and cover. Let chiles soak for 1 hour.
2. 2 Grind toasted cumin and cloves into a powder, and place into a blender. Add ancho chile powder, onion, garlic, oregano, thyme, vinegar, and lime juice. Remove chiles from soaking water, and place into the blender along with 1/3 cup of the soaking liquid. Cover, and blend until a smooth paste forms.
3. 3 Place beef roast into a mixing bowl, and pour the guajillo chile paste over top. Coat beef on all sides with paste, then cover the bowl with plastic wrap. Marinate in the refrigerator overnight.
4. 4 Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
5. 5 Transfer beef and marinade to a roasting pan, and arrange bay leaves over top. Cover tightly with aluminum foil. Bake in the preheated oven until beef is very tender and easily pulled apart with a fork, about 6 hours. Let stand, covered, at room temperature for 1 hour before discarding the bay leaves and shredding with two forks.

Instructions

1. 1 Cut beef chuck in half; cut each half into 3- to 4-inch pieces. Cut each beef short rib through the middle, all the way down to the bone.
2. 2 Place beef chuck and short ribs into a soup pot; season with kosher salt, oregano, black pepper, cumin, cinnamon, and cloves. Toss thoroughly until meat is evenly coated with spices, 2 to 3 minutes. Cover and keep in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours to overnight.
3. 3 Prep guajillo chiles by snipping off stems with scissors; slice open and scrape or shake out seeds onto a plate to discard.
