How to Make It

1. Step
Add 6 cups of water to a large pot and bring to a boil over high heat. Add the ancho, pasilla, and guajillo chiles and cook for 20 minutes.
2. Step
Remove the peppers from the water, reserving the water. Run the peppers under cold water and remove the stems and seeds, then transfer to a container.
3. Step
Strain the liquid through a sieve into the container with the peppers.
4. Step
Transfer the cooked chiles and their liquid, the oregano, cloves, cumin, bay leaves, black pepper, garlic, 1½ ounces of salt, and the vinegar to a high-speed blender. Blend until smooth.
5. Step
Add the remaining 1½ ounces salt to a large pot with the remaining 7 cups of water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then add the meat and cook for 20 minutes, skimming off any scum that rises to the surface.
6. Step
Add the sauce, reduce the heat to low, and cook for 3–4 hours, until the meat is tender and falling apart.
7. Step
Shred the meat and use in tacos, quesa-birria, or burritos with the consomé on the side for dipping, or serve the birria and consomé as a stew with cilantro and onion on top.
8. Step
Enjoy!
