Clean and remove seeds and stems from the chiles.

Boil water and steep the chiles for 15 minutes.

Blend the chiles with beef bouillon, garlic, oregano, thyme, ground clove, ground cinnamon, and chipotle pepper.

Brown the beef chuck roast in a 14-inch skillet, seasoning with salt and pepper.

Saute onions in the same skillet, then add 1 cup of water to create broth.

Transfer the beef and broth to a 6-quart instant pot, add chili puree, 3 cups of water, and bay leaves.

Seal the instant pot and cook on the stew meat setting for 55 minutes on high pressure.

After cooking, release pressure from the instant pot and reserve rendered fat.

Chop the beef and mix some back into the broth.

Preheat a griddle, add rendered fat, corn tortilla, chopped beef, and cheese, cooking until crispy and gooey.

Serve tacos with broth, garnished with onion, cilantro, lime, and salsa.
