Brisket Quesabirria Tacos
These Brisket Quesabirria Tacos are a fusion of two of our favorite foods, brisket and birria style tacos. Tender smoked brisket is simmered in a rich au jus then loaded into corn tortillas with smoked mozzarella before being fried to perfection in beef tallow. This recipe can be made in a skillet or a griddle like a Blackstone.
