4 guajillo chiles
4 ancho chiles
1 cup hot water
1 pound top round, cubed for stew
1 pound baby back ribs, cut into 1-inch pieces
2 1/2 quarts water

1/2 cup diced onion

This birria was amazing! The flavors were so rich and complex, and the meat was fall-apart tender. I will definitely be making this again for my next party.

This birria was a bit too spicy for me, but it was still very good. I would definitely make it again, but I would use less chili peppers next time.
