Instructions

Season the chuck roast with salt and pepper on all sides.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear each side of the roast for 2-3 minutes until browned. If necessary, add more oil. Transfer the roast to a 6-quart slow cooker.
In a blender, combine guajillo chilies, chipotle chilies, diced onion, garlic, honey, beef broth, crushed tomatoes, lime juice, cumin, oregano, cinnamon, paprika, nutmeg, coriander, and thyme. Blend until smooth and pour over the beef. Place bay leaves on top.
Cover and cook on low for 8 hours.
After cooking, remove bay leaves. Set aside 1 cup of the birria consume in a bowl.
Shred the beef with two forks and mix it back into the sauce.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Dip tortillas in the reserved birria consume, then place 2-3 tortillas flat in the skillet at a time.
Top each tortilla with cheese, then add beef, diced onions, and minced cilantro to one side. Fold and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side.
Strain the remaining birria consume and serve in small bowls for dipping. Enjoy hot.

Notes
