Cut the beef into large chunks. In a pot, combine the beef with cold water, onion, garlic, bay leaf, salt, and pepper. Simmer over low heat for 2 hours, or until the beef is very tender.
While the beef is cooking, prepare the chipotle sauce: toast the tomatoes in a dry skillet until slightly charred.
Combine the toasted tomatoes, chipotle peppers, one clove of garlic, a pinch of salt, and a little water in a blender. Blend until smooth.
Once the beef is tender, remove it from the pot and shred it with two forks.
Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet until pliable.
Fill the tortillas with the shredded beef, then spoon the chipotle sauce over the top.
Garnish with fresh cilantro, squeeze lime juice over the top, and serve immediately!
