Brisket Tacos are my favorite for any day of the week! Smoky brisket loaded up with my favorite Tex-Mex toppings is over the top amazing! Kick Taco Tuesday up a notch with leftover brisket!
I could eat tacos every day of the week and if I had to choose just one type of cuisine to eat the rest of my days it would be Mexican food for sure.
Brisket Tacos
Here I sit with my very own recipe site and if you ask me what my favorite food is, I'm going to tell you tacos. So I've decided it was time to share my favorite taco recipe with y'all!
My husband is an expert at smoking a brisket and we have been smoking one every few weeks. Mostly we just slice and eat it, sometimes with a bit of Dr Pepper Barbecue Sauce or we will have Brisket Nachos but my favorite way to enjoy it is Brisket Tacos!
Smoky beef brisket piled in a crunchy corn taco shell and topped with loads of cheddar cheese, sour cream, homemade salsa, green onions and cilantro, it just doesn't get any better.
If you aren't a brisket smoking pro, you can totally pick it up at your local barbecue joint.
I love brisket for feeding a crowd and it's definitely one of my family's favorites. We will often have brisket for holidays even though it's not necessarily traditional. It's just so tender and delicious.
So are you planning a big Super Bowl party? These Brisket Tacos are going to steal the whole show. Best thing is if you pick up brisket from your local barbecue place, these come together in a snap!
If you are loving the low- carb tacos, check out these zucchini tortillas and I am craving a batch of this queso for my next taco night!

How To Choose A Beef Brisket:
When I'm picking out a brisket, I really like to get one that is trimmed but still has a decent amount of fat. The fat really adds to the flavor, tenderness and juiciness of the meat. Nobody likes a dry brisket!
Beef brisket is really not hard to cook but the key is low and slow. I have roasted them in the oven and I've cooked them in the crock pot too.
My favorite method is for my husband to smoke it for a few hours and then finish it really slow in the oven. Here's our Easy Smoked Brisket with a step by step recipe we put together for y'all! I bet it will become your favorite too!
I just can't get enough of these brisket tacos and I've started serving them with Mexican Corn or Velveeta Cheese Dip for an easy side dish.
If you love these Brisket Tacos, you will also love my Brisket Taquitos and these Chimichangas! We also love Grilled Chicken Fajitas and this Chicken Fajita Salad when we are craving Mexican food.
