Method

Preparing the Protein

  1. 1

    Braised Brisket

    Season the brisket with salt and pepper. Sear in a hot pan until browned on all sides. Add to a slow cooker with beef broth and cook on low for 6-8 hours until tender. Shred the brisket and set aside.

  2. 2

    Seasoned Chicken

    Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and your choice of spices (like chili powder and garlic powder). Cook in a skillet over medium heat until cooked through, about 6-7 minutes per side. Shred the chicken and set aside.

Making the Slaw

  1. 3

    In a large bowl, combine corn, shredded napa cabbage, and chopped cilantro. Toss lightly to mix.

Preparing the Salsa & Aioli

  1. 4

    In a blender, combine chipotle peppers, mayonnaise, lime juice, and cumin. Blend until smooth. Adjust seasoning if needed.

Assembling the Tacos

  1. 5

    Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave. Fill each tortilla with the shredded brisket or chicken, top with slaw, and drizzle with chipotle aioli. Garnish with additional cilantro if desired.
