Instructions

Prepare the chili paste by soaking dried chiles in hot beef stock until softened and then blending with other ingredients until smooth.
Sear chunks of organic chuck roast in a Dutch oven until golden brown, then set aside.
Sauté onions in the same pot before adding the chili paste and liquids; return the beef to the pot.
Braise in the oven for 2½ hours or until the meat is tender enough to shred.
Assemble tacos by dipping tortillas in broth, filling them with shredded beef, cheese, and toppings, then frying until crispy.
