These easy shredded brisket tacos are one of the fasted and most delicious dinners we make! Made with leftover BBQ brisket and an array of toppings these come together fast and are a favorite of both the kids and grown ups!
1. Heat the brisket in the microwave, stove top, or oven until warmed.
Heat a few drops of oil in a skillet over medium high heat. Once hot, add a tortilla and cook about 1 min per side, until it is lightly browned on each side. Repeat with remaining tortillas, adding a few more drops of oil as needed. Tip- Spray oil works well here!
To assemble the tacos, lay the tortillas flat. Add about 1/4 cup of meat to each tortilla then top with your choice of toppings. My method is adding the toppings in this order: BBQ brisket, cilantro, cheese, pico de gallo OR corn salsa, sour cream, squeeze of lime juice.
Serve warm! Optional- Serve additional sauce/juices from brisket for dipping the tacos in !
Notes
This recipe is perfect for using leftover brisket!If you need to make the brisket from scratch, find my Slow Cooker BBQ Brisket recipe here!The brisket recipe we use already has the brisket basted in BBQ sauce. If your BBQ brisket is smoked or doesn't have sauce already on it, I would recommend adding about 1/4 cup of your favorite BBQ sauce to the meat before heating it and adding to the tacos.Other places to get BBQ Brisket for the tacos: your local BBQ restaurant, your grocery store hot counter, sold prepackaged in the refrigerated prepared section (ex Sadler's Smokehouse brand.)
