Fresh chiles can be healthier, while canned options are often cheaper.

Prepare the dried chiles by removing stems and seeds.

Soak the chiles in hot water for 15-20 minutes until softened.

Blend the soaked chiles with garlic, onion, cumin, oregano, salt, and black pepper until smooth.

In a skillet, heat a little oil over medium heat and add the blended chile mixture; cook for 5-7 minutes until fragrant.

In a separate pan, brown the ground beef over medium heat, breaking it apart as it cooks.

Once the beef is cooked through, drain excess fat and add the chile sauce; simmer for 10 minutes.

While the beef simmers, heat vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat.

Fry the corn tortillas one at a time until crispy, about 1-2 minutes per side; drain on paper towels.

Assemble the tacos by filling each crispy tortilla with the beef mixture.

Top with cheese, lettuce, tomato, sour cream, and avocado as desired.

Serve immediately, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
