1. 1 Gather all ingredients. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
2. 2 Fill a pot with water; bring to a boil. Add guajillo, arbol, and ancho chile peppers; boil for 5 minutes.
3. 3 Off heat, allow peppers to soak until cool. Drain; reserve ¼ cup cooking liquid.
4. 4 Meanwhile, rinse beef; pat dry with paper towels. Cut beef into chunks if desired; season with salt and black pepper.
5. 5 Heat oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add beef; cook until browned on all sides, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat.
6. 6 While the beef is searing, line a heavy cast-iron grill pan or griddle with aluminum foil; place over high heat. Arrange tomatoes in a single layer on foil; grill until tomato skins burned on all sides and begins to peel, 3 to 5 minutes.
7. 7 Place cooled chile peppers into a blender; add charred tomatoes, vinegar, garlic, 2 teaspoons black pepper, cloves, cinnamon, cumin, thyme, marjoram, oregano, and salt. Pour in reserved ¼ cup cooking liquid; blend until smooth.
8. 8 Strain chile sauce through a mesh strainer; pour over browned beef in the Dutch oven, turning until completely covered with sauce. Cover the Dutch oven with a lid.
9. 9 Bake in the preheated oven, basting beef every 45 minutes with sauce, until birria begins to fall apart, 3 to 4 hours. Remove the lid; bake, uncovered, until birria is crispy on top, about 20 minutes more. Remove from oven, cover with 2 layers of aluminum foil, and allow to rest in a warm area for 10 minutes.
10. 10 Transfer beef to a cutting board; strain off any fat from sauce. Shred beef with two forks; return it to the pot and stir with sauce to coat.
11. 11 Fill each tortilla with birria; top with Mexican cheese, chopped onion, and cilantro. Warm tortillas on a griddle, flipping until both sides crispy and cheese is melted.
12. 12 Serve with extra sauce on the side for dipping.

• olive oil
• poblano pepper
• chicken broth
• vegetable shortening
• salt
• baking powder
• masa harina

Instructions

1. 1 Combine masa harina, baking powder, and salt in a small bowl and stir to combine.
2. 2 Place vegetable shortening in the bowl of a stand mixer and whip on medium-high speed until fluffy.
3. 3 Mix in 1/3 of the masa harina mixture on medium speed, about 2 minutes. Mix in 1/2 of the chicken broth and mix until combined. Add 1/3 of the masa marina mixture, and mix about 2 minutes. Pour in the remaining broth and mix an additional 2 minutes. Add in the remainder of the masa mixture and mix about 5 minutes. The mixture will be a slightly thick batter. Allow to stand while the filling is prepared.
4. 4 Preheat the oven's broiler. Place poblano chiles directly on the oven rack under the broiler and broil until the skin is blackened and bubbly. Turn the peppers to blacken the skin on all sides, about 8 minutes total.
5. 5 Place broiled peppers in a paper bag, close the bag, and allow the peppers to steam inside the bag, about 10 minutes.
6. 6 When peppers are cool enough to touch, remove the skins. Cut the peppers open and remove the seeds and membranes. Slice into 1/4-inch thick slices.
7. 7 Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onions and cook until softened, 2 to 3 minutes.
8. 8 While the onions are cooking, use some more olive oil to grease a 10x10-inch baking dish, and preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
9. 9 Add garlic to the skillet and cook about 1 minute. Stir in sliced poblano peppers, fire-roasted tomatoes and juice, green chiles, capers, cumin, and cloves. Cook for 4 minutes. Stir in cooked chicken and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes.
10. 10 Pour filling into the prepared dish.
11. 11 Carefully and evenly spread the masa harina mixture on top of the filling.
12. 12 Remove excess water from each corn husk and place on top of the masa mixture, overlapping as necessary. Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil.
13. 13 Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour.
14. 14 Remove foil and corn husks. Sprinkle on Monterey Jack cheese and return to the oven until the cheese melts, about 5 minutes.
15. 15 Top with avocado slices, black olives, chopped tomatoes, sour cream, and green onions to taste. Serve warm.

• black peppercorn
• cumin
• sesame seed

Instructions

1. 1 Gather all ingredients.
2. 2 Heat sesame seeds, cumin, peppercorns, coriander seeds, cinnamon stick, cloves, and bay leaves in a dry pan over medium heat until fragrant and the sesame seeds begin to brown. Remove from the pan and set aside.
3. 3 Heat beef broth in a medium-sized pot and turn to a low simmer.
4. 4 Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add guajillo, ancho, and chile de arbol peppers, turning occasionally. Remove the peppers once they have started to blister a bit, 5 to 7 minutes.
5. 5 Place the peppers in the pot of simmering broth. Cover and allow to simmer until the peppers are rehydrated and tender, about 20 minutes.
6. 6 Slice 3/4 of the onion into thick slices and finely dice the rest. Put the diced onion aside. Add the thick slices to the pot, along with the garlic, and cook until the onion is browned, about 5 minutes. Remove and set aside.
7. 7 Heat remaining oil in the pot over medium-high heat, and add goat meat. Allow to brown on all sides, 5 to 7 minutes.
8. 8 Add the warmed spices, peppers and broth, onions, garlic, vinegar, salt, Oregano, and thyme into a blender. Allow to cool slightly before blending to prevent scalding yourself, about 5 minutes. Blend until very smooth.
9. 9 Add the blended sauce into the pot, and stir, scraping all the browned bits off the bottom of the pot. Cover and simmer over medium-low heat until the meat is very tender, about 2 ½ hours.
10. 10 Remove the meat from the sauce and allow to cool enough to shred. Shred the meat with your hands or with 2 forks. Stir in about 1/4 cup of the sauce. Blend the diced tomatoes until very smooth and add to the sauce.
11. 11 Working in batches, dip each tortilla in the pot of sauce and place in a hot pan. Add a bit of the meat mixture and a bit of cheese. Fold in half and brown on both sides, 3 to 4 minutes.
12. 12 Pour the remaining sauce into 4 small bowls. Serve the tacos and sauce with the reserved diced onion, lime wedges, and cilantro.
