Method

Brisket Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Rub

    In a small bowl, mix together smoked paprika, brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Season the Brisket

    Rub the spice mixture all over the beef brisket, ensuring it's well-coated.

  3. 3

    Cook the Brisket

    Place the brisket in a slow cooker. Add beef broth and liquid smoke. Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours, until the brisket is tender.

  4. 4

    Shred the Brisket

    Once cooked, remove the brisket from the slow cooker and let it rest for 10 minutes. Shred the meat using two forks.

Taco Assembly

    Prepare the Toppings

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

  2. 6

    Warm the Tortillas

    In a dry skillet over medium heat, warm the corn tortillas for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.

  3. 7

    Assemble the Tacos

    Place a generous amount of shredded brisket on each tortilla. Top with cilantro, red onion, and avocado slices. Squeeze lime juice over the top.
