mexican essentials: awesome beef brisket tacos
I think that this is the third recipe I’ve posted on using leftover brisket, and it was a total hit with my weekend guests. Everyone agreed that the brisket was a tasty change from the usual ground-beef tacos. They’re easy/peasy to make, and the slow cooking down of the liquid infuses the brisket with a depth of flavor you might not expect from brisket. So, you ready… Let’s get into the kitchen.
