Step 1
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Working in batches, sear lamb until browned on two sides, ~2 minutes per batch. Set aside.
Step 2
Toast guajillo chiles in the same skillet for 30 seconds until fragrant. Tear them into pieces; set aside.
Step 3
Add onion and garlic to the skillet. Cook until softened and fragrant, ~2 minutes, stirring constantly.
Step 4
Return lamb to skillet. Add consomé, chile pieces, and cumin. Bring to a simmer.
Step 5
Simmer uncovered for 12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until lamb is tender and broth is rich and dark.
Step 6
Divide stew between bowls. Serve with lime wedges, salsa on the side, and extra consomé drizzled over the top.
