Ingredients
- ¾ lb ground beef
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 can (14.5 oz) canned diced tomatoes
- 3 whole dried guajillo or ancho chiles
- 1 tbsp white vinegar
- 4 whole corn tortillas
- ½ whole lime (juiced)
Instructions
- 1
Brown ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high, breaking up with a spoon, until no pink remains, about 5 minutes.
- 2
Add broth, tomatoes, and dried chiles (stems removed). Simmer 10 minutes until chiles soften and flavors meld.
- 3
Stir in vinegar and a pinch of salt. Taste and adjust seasoning—the broth should taste bold and slightly spicy.
- 4
While broth simmers, slice tortillas into thin strips. Fry in a dry skillet over medium-high until crispy and lightly charred, about 3 minutes.
- 5
Divide beef and broth between bowls. Top with crispy tortilla strips and a squeeze of fresh lime juice.
