Method

Beef Brisket Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Brisket

    Rub the beef brisket with minced garlic, chopped onion, chipotle peppers, cumin, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Ensure the brisket is evenly coated.

  2. 2

    Cook the Brisket

    Place the brisket in a slow cooker. Pour the beef broth over it. Cook on low for 8-10 hours or until the meat is tender and shreds easily.

Spiced Rice

  1. 3

    Cook the Rice

    In a saucepan, combine rice, chicken broth, and cumin. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 18-20 minutes or until the rice is cooked and liquid is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and stir in chopped cilantro.

Black Beans

  1. 4

    Prepare the Black Beans

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, sauté until the onion is translucent. Stir in the black beans, cumin, and salt. Cook for another 5-7 minutes until heated through.

Arugula Slaw

    Make the Slaw

    In a large bowl, combine arugula, julienned carrot, lime juice, olive oil, and salt. Toss until well mixed and set aside.
