1
Prepare the Beef
In a large pot, add the beef brisket, cover it with beef broth, and bring it to a boil. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 2 hours, or until the meat is tender.
2
Make the Sauce
Once the beef is cooked, remove it from the pot and let it cool slightly. In the same pot, add chopped white onions and simmer for another 10 minutes. Blend the broth with any remaining onions for a smooth sauce.
3
Shred the Beef
Shred the beef brisket with two forks and return it to the pot with the sauce. Stir in chopped cilantro and season with salt to taste.
4
Prepare the Tacos
Heat the corn tortillas in a skillet. Place a generous amount of the beef mixture on each tortilla, sprinkle with mozzarella cheese, and fold the tortillas in half.
5
Serve
Serve the tacos with green salsa and lime wedges on the side.
