Brisket

Method

Brisket Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Brisket

    Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). In a small bowl, mix together smoked paprika, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Rub this mixture all over the beef brisket.

  2. 2

    Cook the Brisket

    Place the seasoned brisket in a large roasting pan and pour the beef broth around it. Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 4-5 hours, or until the brisket is tender and easily shredded with a fork.

  3. 3

    Shred the Brisket

    Once cooked, remove the brisket from the oven and let it rest for about 15 minutes before shredding it with two forks. Make sure to mix it with the juices from the pan to keep it moist.

Nacho Assembly

  1. 4

    Layer the Nachos

    On a large baking sheet, spread out half of the tortilla chips in an even layer. Top with half of the shredded brisket, half of the jalapeños, and half of the cheese.

  2. 5

    Melt the Cheese

    Broil the nachos in the oven for 2-3 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Keep a close eye to avoid burning.

  3. 6

    Add Remaining Ingredients

    Carefully remove the nachos from the oven and top with the remaining brisket, jalapeños, and cheese. Broil again for another 2-3 minutes.

  4. 7

    Serve with Toppings

    Once done, remove the nachos from the oven and add dollops of sour cream, guacamole, chopped green onions, and fresh cilantro on top. Serve immediately.
