Method

Preparing the Brisket

  1. 1

    Season the Brisket

    Rub the beef brisket generously with the BBQ rub, ensuring it is well coated on all sides.

  2. 2

    Sear the Brisket

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear the brisket on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side.

  3. 3

    Slow Cook the Brisket

    Transfer the seared brisket to a slow cooker. Mix the apple cider vinegar and beef broth together, and pour it over the brisket. Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours or until tender.

  4. 4

    Shred the Brisket

    Once cooked, remove the brisket from the slow cooker and let it rest for 10 minutes. Use two forks to shred the meat into bite-sized pieces.

Assembling the Tacos

  1. 5

    Prepare the Tortillas

    Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds per side or until pliable.

  2. 6

    Chop the Vegetables

    Finely chop the red onion and cilantro. Slice the avocado and lime into wedges.

  3. 7

    Assemble the Tacos

    Place a generous portion of shredded brisket on each tortilla. Top with chopped red onion, cilantro, and a squeeze of lime. Add avocado slices on top.

  4. 8

    Serve

    Serve the tacos immediately while warm, and enjoy!
