Ingredients
3 ½ - 4 lbs brisket
Mayo or mustard as a binder
10 - 12 Tortillas
½ cup cheese of choice
Fresh cilantro
1 ½ tbsp brown sugar
1 ½ tbsp paprika
2 tsp dry mustard
1 tsp black pepper
2 tsp salt
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp ground cumin
¼ tsp cayenne pepper
1 onion, finely chopped
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
½ cup apple cider vinegar
⅓ cup brown sugar
1 cup chicken broth
3 tbsp ketchup
Directions
Step 1
Mix all your dry rub ingredients together.
Step 2
Cover brisket with your binder of choice. Sprinkle with half the dry rub and massage in. Turn over and repeat on the other side.
Step 3
Place into a baking dish and cover tightly with foil. Bake at 250°F for roughly 1 hour per pound or until internal temp reaches ~185°F. Remove from oven, flip over, recover with foil, and place back into oven.
Step 4
Brisket should reach a temp of about 205°F. Pull it from the oven and let it rest.
Step 5
Sauté your onions in a sauce pan. Once softened, add balsamic vinegar and stir together for a minute. Add your apple cider vinegar and brown sugar. Bring to a simmer, stirring regularly until it thickens to a syrup.
Step 6
Set brisket aside. Pour the juices into a large liquid measuring cup. Add beef broth to the juice until you get 3 cups total. Add to your simmering sauce pan. Stir until liquid has reduced and thickened. Add ketchup and simmer for a few more minutes.
Step 7
Brisket should be cool and tender enough to shred by hand. Pour in about 2/3 of your sauce, cheese, cilantro, and mix together.
Step 8
Place about 1/3 cup into the center of your tortillas and spread meat to edges. Roll tightly and place into a large baking dish. Repeat until meat is gone.
Step 9
Spray tops of tortillas with nonstick spray and place into oven at 425°F for 20-25 minutes
Step 10
Enjoy with your remaining sauce or with your favorite sides
