My mom teach me this recipe, she cook the birria in the oven, and this let me tell you, taste amazing. It's obviously good to have it all year around, but specially this month that is September, and for Mexican is a important month, because of independence day.
This is my first time cooking it, but I was honestly impressed.

Instructions
Step 1
In a blender, mix the garlic, onion, black pepper, vinegar, cumin and cloves , until smooth. Place the meat in a container and add the mixture in top of it to let it marinade over night in the fridge, to cook next day.
Step 2
Cut open the dried chiles with kitchen scissors or a knife and discard the seeds. Heat a large pot with water over medium high heat. Cook the chiles for 5 minutes or until soft.
Step 3
Pre heat the oven to 400 F or 200 C.
Step 4
In a blender, add the chiles, tomatoes, oregano, bouillon and beer. You are going to have a thick consistency. Add water if you like to have more caldo, but this is to the taste ( I didn't add any more water). Every time I'm going to re head it I add water.
Step 5
Remove the meat from the fridge and place it in a container or pot oven proof. Add the red mixture from the blender to the meat, and on top of it add the bay leaves. Place the meat in the oven for 3 or 4 hours, depending on what are you cooking the meat in. It has to be well cover so the meat on top don't over cook, and steam is inside.
Step 6
Make your plates or tacos, and add for toppings chopped onions, lime, cilantro and a delicious green sauce. You can have it with corn or flour tortillas.
