Ingredients:

  • 3 to 3 1/2 lbs boneless beef chuck roast
  • 4 – 5 cups water
  • 5 dried guajillo peppers, cleaned
  • 2 tbsp beef bouillon powder
  • 1 tbsp chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
  • 1 Roma tomato
  • 1/2 small onion
  • 4 cloves of garlic
  • 1 dried bay leaf
  • 1/2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp Mexican oregano
  • a pinch of ground cinnamon
  • a pinch of ground clove
  • salt and pepper, to taste

Sandwiches:

  • bread rolls
  • 8 oz shredded cheese
  • diced onion
  • chopped cilantro
  • rendered fat from birria

Directions:

Step 1

Set the instant pot to saute mode, then add some cooking oil and the chuck roast. Brown it on both sides. Once browned, add the five dried guajillo peppers, one Roma tomato, 1/2 tsp Mexican oregano, 1/2 small onion, 4 cloves of garlic, 1 tbsp chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, 2 tbsp beef bouillon powder, a pinch of ground cinnamon, 1/2 tsp ground cumin, a pinch of ground clove, and salt and ground black pepper to taste. Pour four cups of water, then cover the instant pot with its lid, ensuring it’s sealed properly. Set it on meat/stew mode and cook for 45 minutes.

Step 2

Once done cooking, be careful to pull up the lid, then remove the onion, garlic, tomato, and guajillo peppers. Transfer them to a blender and puree them with a cup of rendered liquid. Move the meat to a small baking sheet to let it rest until need to chop it. For the rendered liquid, skim off the top and don’t discard it. After blending, transfer it back to the rendered liquid in the pot with half a cup of water. Season it to your preference. Now, chop the meat and assemble the sandwiches.
