Texas-Style Smoked Brisket Tacos

Ingredients

• 3 pounds beef brisket
• 2 tablespoons smoked paprika
• 1 tablespoon garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon onion powder
• 1 tablespoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon salt
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 8 units tortillas
• 1 medium onions
• 1 cup cilantro
• 2 units lime
• 1 cup salsa
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium jalapeño peppers

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your smoker to 225°F (107°C).

2. 2

   In a small bowl, mix together smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, salt, cumin, and olive oil to create a spice rub.

3. 3

   Trim excess fat from the brisket and rub the spice mixture evenly over the meat.

4. 4

   Place the brisket in the smoker and smoke for about 1.5 hours per pound, or until the internal temperature reaches 195°F to 205°F (90°C to 96°C). This should take approximately 4 to 6 hours.

5. 5

   Once the brisket is done, wrap it in butcher paper or aluminum foil and let it rest for at least 30 minutes.

6. 6

   While the brisket is resting, prepare the toppings: thinly slice the onions, chop the cilantro, and dice the jalapeño peppers.

7. 7

   Warm the tortillas in a skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.

8. 8

   Slice the brisket against the grain into thin strips.

9. 9

   Assemble the tacos by placing a few slices of brisket on each tortilla and topping with onions, cilantro, jalapeño peppers, and a squeeze of lime juice.
