Tortilla Chips

Brisket

Method

Tortilla Chips

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tortilla Chips

    Cut each corn tortilla into 6 equal triangles.

  2. 2

    Fry the Chips

    Heat vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat. Once hot, carefully add tortilla triangles in batches, frying until golden and crispy, about 2-3 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with salt while hot.

Brisket

  1. 3

    Prepare the Brisket

    In a slow cooker, combine brisket, beef broth, chopped onion, minced garlic, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Stir to coat the brisket.

  2. 4

    Cook the Brisket

    Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or until the brisket is tender and easily shredded. Once done, remove the brisket and shred it using two forks.

Assembly

  1. 5

    Assemble the Nachos

    On a large baking sheet, layer the tortilla chips evenly. Sprinkle shredded brisket over the chips, followed by shredded cheddar cheese and sliced jalapeños.

  2. 6

    Melt the Cheese

    Place the baking sheet in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

  3. 7

    Serve

    Remove from the oven and drizzle sour cream over the nachos. Serve immediately.
