Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs beef (chuck or brisket)
  • 1 lb goat meat (optional)
  • 4 dried guajillo chiles
  • 2 dried ancho chiles

Instructions

  1. Boil the meat in a pot of salted water until tender, about 1-1.5 hours, then shred it with two forks.
  2. Toast the dried chiles in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, then soak in hot water for 15 minutes.
