Brisket Tacos Recipe

Brisket Tacos Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Brisket

   In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium heat. Season the brisket with salt and black pepper and sear it on all sides until browned, about 4-5 minutes per side.

2. 2

   Add Aromatics

   Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot. Sauté until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

3. 3

   Season and Simmer

   Stir in chili powder, cumin, and smoked paprika. Pour in the beef broth, bring to a simmer, and cover. Cook on low heat for about 3-4 hours, or until the brisket is fork-tender.

4. 4

   Shred the Brisket

   Once the brisket is cooked, remove it from the pot and let it rest for 10 minutes. Shred the brisket using two forks.

5. 5

   Assemble the Tacos

   Warm the corn tortillas in a skillet. Fill each tortilla with shredded brisket, and top with chopped cilantro, avocado slices, and a dollop of sour cream. Serve with lime wedges on the side.
