Beef Brisket Tacos
These beef brisket tacos are chock full of delicious flavors. The beef brisket can be cooked beforehand making this meal SUPER quick and easy! I like to use smaller tortillas with these tacos. It’s easier to eat a few smaller ones rather than a huge one that just ends up falling apart! Plus, that makes it so that I also have room on my plate for more delicious sides like these Corn Fritters or this Mexican Rice!
The flavors in these tacos have some heat from the jalapeños. But you can totally change up the toppings to be what you like! Put whatever you want on them and make them your own! I especially love topping these tacos with cojita cheese. Not only does the texture just work perfectly but the taste is subtle yet compliments everything so well. You’ll be shocked at how quickly these disappear off of your table! I would double the recipe just in case… enjoy!

- Tortillas: If flour tortillas aren’t your thing, go ahead and try these tacos with corn tortillas instead!

There is no right or wrong way to make these! And with this homemade beef brisket as your meat then you cannot go wrong!

You can totally store these beef brisket tacos to eat for lunch or dinner the next day! Go ahead and get a few different airtight containers. Place your tortillas in one, your meat in another, and all of your toppings in another one. Keeping things separate will make it so that nothing gets soggy. You can reheat the meat in the microwave and put the tacos together when you are ready to eat! These will last in the fridge for 3-4 days!
