Kitchen View

Step 1

In large bowl, toss beef with Adobo seasoning to coat; set aside.

Step 2

In medium saucepan set over medium-high heat, bring 4 cups water to a boil. Add ancho chiles, pasilla chiles and tomato. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until chiles soften, about 5 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer solids to blender. Reserve cooking liquid.

Step 3

To the blender, add bouillon, yellow onion, garlic, cumin, oregano and vinegar. Add 1 cup reserved cooking liquid and blend; add more cooking liquid as needed to achieve a smooth paste constistency.

Step 4

In large saucepan set over medium-high heat, add oil until shimmering. Add chile mixture and bring to a simmer. Add seasoned beef, bay leaves, cinnamon stick and 4 cups water. Bring to a boil, then cover, reduce heat to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, for 2 1/2 to 3 hours or until beef is tender. Discard bay leaves and cinnamon stick.

Step 5

Using slotted spoon, transfer beef to cutting board and finely chop or pull apart using two forks.

Step 6

To medium bowl, transfer rendered fat from top of the saucepan. Dip a tortilla in rendered fat, then place in large skillet set over medium heat. Top half of tortilla with 1/4 cup beef mixture. Fold taco over filling, pressing down with spatula to help flatten. Cook, turning once, for 2 to 3 minutes or until lightly browned and crispy. Repeat with remaining tortillas and remaining beef mixture.

Step 7

Serve with a bowl of the broth topped with onions and cilantro on the side for dipping.
