Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs beef chuck roast
- 2 dried guajillo chiles
- 2 dried ancho chiles

- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano

Instructions
- In a skillet, toast the guajillo and ancho chiles until fragrant, then soak them in warm water for 15 minutes to soften.
- Blend the soaked chiles with garlic, onion, cumin, oregano, cinnamon, and one cup of beef broth until smooth. This will be your flavorful base.

Notes
Soak the chiles for better flavor. Let the cooked birria rest before serving to enhance the taste.
