Brisket Tacos Recipe

Brisket Tacos Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Brisket

   Season the brisket with salt, black pepper, cumin, chili powder, and smoked paprika.

2. 2

   Sear the Brisket

   In a large skillet or Dutch oven, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear the brisket on all sides until browned, about 4-5 minutes per side.

3. 3

   Add Aromatics

   Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet, sautéing for 2-3 minutes until the onion is translucent.

4. 4

   Add Broth and Simmer

   Pour in the beef broth, bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 3-4 hours, or until the brisket is tender and shreds easily.

5. 5

   Shred the Brisket

   Once cooked, remove the brisket from the pot and let it rest for 10 minutes. Then shred the meat with two forks.

6. 6

   Warm the Tortillas

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

7. 7

   Assemble the Tacos

   Place a generous amount of shredded brisket on each tortilla. Top with fresh cilantro, slices of avocado, a dollop of sour cream, and a squeeze of lime juice.

8. 8

   Serve

   Enjoy your brisket tacos immediately with extra lime wedges on the side.
