Once the beef is done, remove it from the oven and shred it with two forks.

Strain the barbacoa sauce through a fine-mesh sieve into a small saucepan, discarding any solids.

Bring the sauce to a simmer over medium heat and cook until slightly thickened, stirring occasionally.

To assemble the tacos, spoon some of the shredded beef onto a warmed tortilla, followed by a spoonful of the barbacoa sauce, a dollop of sour cream, and a sprinkle of cilantro.

Serve immediately, with lime wedges on the side.
