Instructions
Cut beef into 2-inch cubes and place in a large mixing bowl. Whisk together the chopped chipotles in adobo, white onion, garlic, beer, vinegar, lime juice, cumin, oregano, ground cloves, salt and pepper in a separate bowl. Pour over the beef and toss together. Transfer all ingredients to the slow cooker.
Add bay leaves and place slow cooker, covered on low, for 6 - 8 hours.
Remove beef with tongs and shred with two forks on a separate plate. Carefully pour the gravy the meat has been cooking in into a blender. Blend until smooth and set aside.
Place shredded beef in a serving platter or back into the slow cooker. Add desired amount of gravy and save the rest to serve on the side.
Warm tortillas and queso. Layer each taco with a flour tortilla, warmed queso and a corn tortilla on top. Then fill with barbacoa, pickled red onions, cilantro and additional queso on top. Enjoy immediately with fresh limes, if desired.
