Step 1
Toast guajillo and ancho chiles in a dry skillet over medium-high, 45 seconds per side until fragrant.
Step 2
Remove stems and seeds from chiles. Soak chiles in 1 cup hot water until soft, ~10 minutes.
Step 3
Place beef, halved onion, and garlic in a large pot. Add 6 cups broth and bring to a boil.
Step 4
Reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer until beef is very tender and shreds easily, 35–40 minutes.
Step 5
Blend soaked chiles with 0.5 cup soaking liquid until smooth. Strain through a fine sieve into the pot.
Step 6
Stir in vinegar. Taste and adjust salt and pepper. Keep broth simmering.

Ladle hot broth over noodles. Top with shredded beef and garnishes. Serve with lime wedges.
