12 guajillo chiles, rinsed, stemmed, and seeded

5 árbol chiles, rinsed and stemmed
2 large Roma tomatoes
½ medium yellow onion
1 4-inch Mexican cinnamon stick

<Admonition type="info" title="Ingredient Sourcing">
<p>
My local produce store carries bags of dried chilies - whole dried are the best.
Purchasing online is a decent alternative for high quality chilies.
</p>
<p>
Also, finding a decently fatty chuck roast is key for a quality consumé.

<TabItem value="instructions" label="Instructions">
1. Season the meat with **salt** and **pepper**. Heat **olive oil** in a large pot over medium-high heat and sear the meat on all sides until browned.
2. In a separate pot, combine **guajillo**, **ancho**, and **árbol chiles**, **tomatoes**, **onion**, **cinnamon stick**, **bay leaves**, and **peppercorns**. Cover with water and boil for 10 minutes.
3. Transfer the softened ingredients to a blender, add 1 cup of the cooking water, **beef broth**, **vinegar**, **garlic**, **cumin**, **oregano**, and **cloves**. Blend until smooth.
4. Strain the blended sauce into the pot with the seared meat. Stir to combine and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 3-3.5 hours until the meat is tender.
5. Shred the meat and store in a new container. Add consumé to the meat as needed to keep moist. Save the remaining consumé for another batch or for making tacos.

<p>
Straining after blending is important for a smooth texture in the consumé. However, leaving it lightly chunky is not a bad thing.

<p>Tips for Quesabirra Tacos</p>
<ul>
<li>Use corn tortillas for a traditional flavor. Dip both sides in the consomé before hitting the stove.</li>
<li>Right after the tortilla is placed on the stove, immediately add birria and toppings (cheese, onions, cilantro, etc.)</li>
<li>Don't fold the tortilla until it naturally releases from the stove - this yields the best crunch.</li>
</ul>
<p>Tips for Birria Ramen</p>
<ul>
<li>It's crazy how much a little bit of birria can elevate a bowl of ramen.</li>
