Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the guajillo and ancho chiles in a large saucepan with the chicken broth and fire-roasted tomatoes. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes, until the chiles are fully softened and pliable.

Transfer the chile mixture to a blender along with the smashed garlic, cumin, oregano, and salt. Blend on high until completely smooth, about 1 minute. Taste and adjust salt as needed. Set the sauce aside — you should have about 3 cups.
