Cover and simmer on low heat for 2-3 hours until the beef is tender and easily shredded.

Remove beef from pot and shred with two forks; set aside.

Strain the cooking liquid and reserve for dipping.

Heat a skillet over medium heat and lightly toast corn tortillas until pliable.

Fill tortillas with shredded beef and top with cheese; fold in half.

Cook tacos in the skillet until cheese is melted and tortillas are crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side.

Serve tacos with reserved broth for dipping, and garnish with cilantro, lime, and radishes.
