1. Remove the meat from the package and rinse it, then dry it using paper towels. Cut it into two or three pieces, depending on the size of the cooking pot you're using; the parts should be more or less the same size so they can cook evenly.
2. Place the meat pieces, bones, onion, garlic, bay leaf, and avocado leaves (if using) in a large cooking pot. Cover with water and cook until the meat is very tender and you can easily shred it. If using a regular stock pot to cook on the stove, the meat will be ready in about two and half hours. In the slow cooker, it will take 8 hours in the low setting and 6 hours in the high setting. It will take 50 minutes in a pressure cooker, or 40 minutes in an Instant Pot.
3. While the meat is cooking, lightly toast the peppers for a few seconds on the griddle, then place them in a saucepan with hot water and let them soak for 20-30 minutes until they're very soft.
4. Drain the peppers and place them in your blender with the two garlic cloves, oregano, and 1 cup of the cooking broth (or clean water). Process until you have a smooth sauce.

1. Combine seasoning blend: In a small bowl, combine all the ingredients for the spice blend – paprika, cumin, oregano, chili powder, onion powder, garlic powder and coriander. Add 1 ¼ teaspoon of salt and ½ teaspoon of black pepper. Stir well to combine.
2. Season beef: Place the pieces of beef on a clean work surface. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of the seasoning blend all over the beef. Use your hands to rub the spices into the beef.
3. Sear beef: Heat 1 ½ tablespoons of oil in a Dutch oven or large heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Add the meat (in batches if necessary) and sear until well browned on all sides, about 8 minutes total. (If browning meat in batches, add more oil as needed.) Remove to a plate.
4. Sauté vegetables: Reduce the heat under the now empty pot to medium and add the remaining ½ tablespoon of oil. Add the onions and season with a pinch of pepper and a generous pinch of salt. Sauté, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and remaining seasoning blend. Cook, stirring constantly until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the tomato paste and chopped chipotles. Cook, stirring constantly, until paste is caramelized, about 1-2 minutes.
