Directions
In a medium size pot, add the dried peppers and cover with water. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Next, place the peppers, 1 cup of the pepper water, the garlic and dried oregano into a blender and mix until smooth.
Heat the olive oil in a large pot and add the beef. Sear the meat on all sides. Next add the remining ingredients (except the corn tortillas), including the blended sauce, to the pot. Stir and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer for 2 hours or until the meat is very tender. When cool enough to handle, remove the beef and shred it.
To make the tacos, add some of the beef to a taco shell and top with your preferred taco filling ingredients. Repeat for the remaining taco shells.
