Ingredients

• 2 pounds beef chuck roast
• 5 whole dried guajillo chilies
• 3 whole dried ancho chilies
• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 6 whole garlic cloves
• 4 cups beef broth
• 3 whole bay leaves
• 2 teaspoons ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 whole, chopped small onion
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 8 whole keto-friendly tortillas
• 0.5 cup, chopped cilantro
• 1 whole, cut into wedges lime

Directions

Step 1

Soak the guajillo and ancho chilies in hot water for about 15 minutes until softened, then remove stems and seeds.

Step 2

Place chilies, apple cider vinegar, garlic, half of the chopped onion, cumin, oregano, cinnamon, salt, and pepper in a blender. Add 1 cup of beef broth and blend until smooth to create the adobo sauce.

Step 3

Cut beef chuck roast into large chunks. In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the beef on all sides until browned.

Step 4

Pour the adobo sauce over the beef, add the remaining beef broth, and bay leaves. Bring to a simmer, then cover pot and reduce heat to low.

Step 5

Let the beef simmer for about 3 to 4 hours until it's tender and easily shreds with a fork.

Step 6

Remove the beef from the pot and shred using two forks. Return shredded beef to the pot and mix with sauce.

Step 7

To assemble the burritos, layout the keto-friendly tortillas. Place a generous amount of shredded beef in the center of each tortilla.

Step 8

Top the beef with chopped onions and fresh cilantro.

Step 9

Fold the sides of the tortilla in, then roll it up from the bottom to the top.

Step 10

Serve the Keto Birria Burritos warm with lime wedges on the side for added flavor.
