Ingredients
Method
Prepare the Chiles
- In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the guajillo and ancho chiles until fragrant, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and soak in hot water for 15 minutes.
Blend the Sauce
- In a blender, combine the soaked chiles, cumin, oregano, black pepper, and garlic. Blend until smooth, adding a bit of the soaking water if necessary.
Cook the Meat
- In a Dutch oven, heat some oil over medium-high heat. Brown the beef and lamb chunks on all sides. Remove and set aside.
- In the same pot, add chopped onion and sauté until translucent. Add the blended sauce and cook for another 5 minutes.
- Return the meat to the pot, add beef broth and water, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 2-3 hours until the meat is tender.
Serve
- Shred the meat and serve in bowls with the broth. Garnish with cilantro, diced onion, and lime wedges. Serve with corn tortillas on the side.

Notes
For a spicier version, add a few jalapeños to the sauce.
