Brisket Tacos Ingredients

Method

Brisket Tacos Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Brisket

    In a slow cooker, add the beef brisket, chopped onion, minced garlic, beef broth, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or until the brisket is tender.

  2. 2

    Shred the Brisket

    Once cooked, remove the brisket from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded brisket to the slow cooker and mix it with the juices.

  3. 3

    Warm the Tortillas

    While the brisket is resting, warm the corn tortillas in a skillet over medium heat until pliable.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Tacos

    To assemble, place a generous amount of brisket on each tortilla. Top with fresh cilantro, avocado slices, a dollop of sour cream, and a squeeze of lime.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the tacos immediately with additional lime wedges on the side.
