Brisket Taco Ingredients

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Brisket

    Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Season the brisket with salt and pepper, then sear on all sides until browned. Remove brisket and set aside.

  2. 2

    Cook the Aromatics

    In the same pot, add diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add the Spices

    Stir in cumin, paprika, chili powder, and cook for another minute until fragrant.

  4. 4

    Slow Cook the Brisket

    Return the brisket to the pot and pour in the beef broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 3-4 hours, or until brisket is tender.

  5. 5

    Shred the Brisket

    Once the brisket is tender, remove from the pot and shred with two forks. Return the shredded brisket to the pot to soak up the juices.

  6. 6

    Prepare the Tacos

    Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat. Fill each tortilla with shredded brisket, top with fresh cilantro and avocado slices.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Serve tacos with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.
