Ingredients
- 2 cups BBQ brisket See notes
- 8 corn tortillas
- 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
Brisket Taco Toppings
- 1/2 cup fresh cilantro
- 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese substitute Mexican blend or colby jack
- 1/4 cup Pico de Gallo
- 1/4 cup corn salsa
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 8 Fresh lime wedges
Instructions
- 1. Heat the brisket in the microwave, stove top, or oven until warmed.
- Heat a few drops of oil in a skillet over medium high heat. Once hot, add a tortilla and cook about 1 min per side, until it is lightly browned on each side. Repeat with remaining tortillas, adding a few more drops of oil as needed. Tip- Spray oil works well here!
- To assemble the tacos, lay the tortillas flat. Add about 1/4 cup of meat to each tortilla then top with your choice of toppings. My method is adding the toppings in this order: BBQ brisket, cilantro, cheese, pico de gallo OR corn salsa, sour cream, squeeze of lime juice.
- Serve warm! Optional- Serve additional sauce/juices from brisket for dipping the tacos in !

Notes
- This recipe is perfect for using leftover brisket!
- If you need to make the brisket from scratch, find my Slow Cooker BBQ Brisket recipe here!

- The brisket recipe we use already has the brisket basted in BBQ sauce. If your BBQ brisket is smoked or doesn't have sauce already on it, I would recommend adding about 1/4 cup of your favorite BBQ sauce to the meat before heating it and adding to the tacos.
- Other places to get BBQ Brisket for the tacos: your local BBQ restaurant, your grocery store hot counter, sold prepackaged in the refrigerated prepared section (ex Sadler's Smokehouse brand.)
