Brisket and Toppings

Method

Preparation and Assembly

  1. 1

    Prepare the Brisket

    Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Mix salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and chili powder in a bowl. Rub the spice mixture all over the brisket. Place the brisket in a roasting pan and cover it with foil. Roast for about 4 hours or until tender.

  2. 2

    Shred the Brisket

    Once the brisket is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 30 minutes. After resting, shred the brisket using two forks.

  3. 3

    Warm the Tortillas

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

  4. 4

    Assemble the Tacos

    Place a generous amount of shredded brisket on each tortilla. Top with pico de gallo, fresh cilantro, and a drizzle of jalapeno-lime mayo.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the tacos immediately while warm. Enjoy!
