1. Make the beef for the Birria either early on the day you want to make tacos or make the night before. Rub a whole piece of chuck roast down with the olive oil. Use your fingers to rub the oil into the meat and tenderize it. Sprinkle the salt and pepper over the exposed side of the chuck roast. Heat a pan over high heat on your stove. Once the pan is hot, place the roast in the pan and seer on all sides.
2. When you’re done searing the roast, transfer it to a Crock Pot. Leave this aside for later. At a cutting board, slice the stems off dried arbol and guajillo peppers. Shake out the seeds and add the dried peppers to a small pot. Peel and add a whole piece of onion to the pot. Fill the pot with water until the ingredients are covered and bring it to a boil on your stove. Once boiling, simmer the pot until the peppers are rehydrated and the onion is soft.
3. Pour all the contents of the pot, including the water, to a food processor or blender. Add peeled whole garlic, paprika, cumin, and oregano to the food processor and pulse the ingredients until you have a fully blended liquid. Pour the spicy liquid into the Crock Pot over the beef. Pour in the beef broth. Add 2 whole bay leaves and 1 whole cinnamon stick to the Crock Pot (not listed in ingredients).
4. Cook the Crock Pot on low heat for 8 hours. For quicker cooking, you can also cook on high heat for 4 hours, but do not expect your beef to be as tender. Once done, discard the bay leaves and cinnamon stick, and use a pair of forks to shred the beef into thin shreds. The finer you shred the beef, the easier it will be to use later in the recipe. If you are making your tacos directly after, you can leave the Birria warm in your Crock Pot. If you are making your tacos the next day, store the Birria in a large container in your refrigerator.
