Leftover Brisket Tacos Recipe
This brisket tacos recipe is a delicious way to use leftover brisket. These tacos are filled with tender beef brisket, topped with melted sharp cheddar cheese, crispy onion strings, and a savory barbecue sauce drizzle. They're a definite crowd-pleaser!
Ingredients
- 2 cups Leftover beef brisket
- ⅓ cup Barbecue sauce
- ¼ cup Beef broth
- 1-2 cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
- 6 Fajita-size flour tortillas
- Crispy onion strings optional
- Additional barbecue sauce for drizzling
Instructions
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine leftover brisket, barbecue sauce, and beef broth. Heat until warmed through, stirring occasionally.
- While the brisket is heating, warm the flour tortillas in a frying pan over medium heat or directly over an open flame, turning frequently with metal tongs until heated and slightly charred.
- Place heated brisket onto the tortillas. Top each with shredded cheese, drizzle with barbecue sauce, and add crispy onion strings if desired.
Notes
- Use Moist Brisket: Ensure the leftover brisket is moist and tender by heating it gently with barbecue sauce and beef broth. This keeps the meat juicy and flavorful.
- Warm Tortillas Properly: Heat the flour tortillas just until they are warm and pliable. You can do this in a dry skillet or over an open flame for a bit of char, enhancing their flavor.
- Add Crunchy Texture: Enhance your tacos with crispy onion strings for extra texture and a delicious crunch. They complement the tender brisket and melted cheese perfectly.
