Tortilla Chips

Smoked Brisket

Method

Preparation of Ingredients

  1. 1

    Prepare the Brisket

    If not already done, smoke the brisket according to your preferred method until tender. Once cooked, shred the brisket into small pieces and mix with barbecue sauce in a bowl.

  2. 2

    Make the Cheese Sauce

    In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add flour and whisk for about 1 minute, until lightly golden. Gradually pour in milk, continuing to whisk to prevent lumps. Cook until the sauce thickens (about 5 minutes). Stir in cheddar cheese and cream cheese until melted and smooth. Season with salt and pepper.

Assemble the Nachos

    Layer the Tortilla Chips

    On a large baking sheet or platter, spread out the tortilla chips evenly.

  2. 4

  3. 5

    Pour Cheese Sauce

    Drizzle the warm cheese sauce generously over the brisket and chips.
