Step 4
In the meantime, prepare the chilorio sauce. In a skillet over MEDIUM-HIGH heat, toast dried chile peppers until fragrant, approximately 2-3 minutes. Transfer chiles to a large bowl and cover with 1 qt. hot water. Cover and steep until the chiles are tender. Place chiles into a blender with remaining ingredients and blend with approximately ¾ cup of chile water to make a thick paste. Pass chilorio sauce through a mesh strainer to remove solid particles.

Prepare the purple cabbage slaw starting by whisking together olive oil and lime juice in a small bowl. Stir in garlic and zest.

Step 6
Shred the roast once it has fully rested, about 30 minutes. Heat vegetable oil in a skillet on MEDIUM-HIGH and add shredded roast. As beef sautés, add enough chilorio sauce, about ¼ cup, to coat; Cook until sauce sticks to roast. Place 2-3 oz. roast in a tortilla and cover it with slaw. Add your favorite salsa and more chilorio sauce, if desired.
