- Bring them to a boil and simmer until the skin peels off. Remove them from the water and peel the skins from the tomatoes.
- Add your peeled tomatoes, chilies, cloves, oregano, salt, coriander, and bay leaves to the food processor and puree until all ingredients are combined. Pour this mixture over the beef.
- Pressure cook on high for 1 hour and 30 minutes.
- Wait for a natural pressure release and remove the beef from the pot. Use forks to shred the meat. Set aside.
- Add a corn tortilla to a pan and spread some birria sauce on each side.
- On half of the tortilla add some of the shredded birria. Top it with cheese, onion, coriander, and continue to cook for 3-5 minutes.
- Fold the tortilla in half, serve, and enjoy!
