These Beef Brisket Tacos are the ultimate street-style treat, featuring juicy, flavorful brisket wrapped in soft tortillas and topped with fresh ingredients.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs beef brisket, trimmed
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 onion, diced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup beef broth
- 12 small corn tortillas
- Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
- Lime wedges (for serving)
- Salsa or pico de gallo (for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C).
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
- Rub the brisket with chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Place the brisket in the skillet and sear on both sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side.
- Transfer the brisket to a baking dish and pour the sautéed onion and garlic over the top. Add beef broth around the brisket.
- Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 3-4 hours, or until the brisket is tender and easily shredded with a fork.
- Remove the brisket from the oven and let it rest for 15 minutes. Shred the brisket using two forks.
- Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat until pliable.
- To assemble the tacos, place some of the shredded brisket on each tortilla. Top with fresh cilantro, salsa, and a squeeze of lime juice.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious beef brisket tacos!
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add diced jalapeños to the tacos.
- You can use flour tortillas instead of corn if preferred.
- Leftover brisket can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
