Brisket Taquitos
We love making an Easy Smoked Brisket over the weekend and then we enjoy it all week long. If you have never cooked a brisket, be sure to head over and get our tried and true method.
Most importantly, cooking your own brisket is about 1/4 of the price of picking it up at the local bbq place. It is perfect for feeding a crowd or a to feed your family all week long.
We are creating new recipes to enjoy it every time we smoke another brisket. So keep checking back or subscribe to our emails to make sure you don’t miss out!
Brisket is absolutely wonderful sliced up, drizzled with a little Dr Pepper Barbecue Sauce and piled high on a sandwich.
Beyond barbecue sandwiches, we will change it up with something like these Brisket Taquitos. They are incredibly simple to make, perfect for busy weeknights.
Brisket Taquitos can be made ahead of time and they are perfect for a quick after school snack. So much better than the the store bought variety! You know exactly what goes into them.

I could eat Mexican food every day of the week and twice on Sunday. I don’t ever get tired of it. Thank goodness my family feels the same.
Since we live pretty far out out of town, we don’t go out to eat very often. Its’ either Barbecue or Mexican food when we do and these Brisket Taquitos are just the best of both worlds.
The slow smoked, tender brisket is the perfect filling for these taquitos. A great addition to your game day menu or Tex- Mex fiesta.
If I’m stumped on what to make for dinner, nine times out of ten it will be Mexican of some sort. It’s quick and easy and something the whole family will eat.
Lastly, you might be thinking that briskets are huge and hard to use up. Consider cutting your brisket in half and freezing the rest for later. Plus, I have you covered with plenty of ideas for your delicious smoked brisket!

Yes I will have to tell everyone it is the best tasting brisket I’ve ever had. Love how many different meals you can create with it. Great job Tony and Missy
Can these be frozen to eat later?
Hi Brooke,
I have not tried freezing them, but I can’t see any reason that it wouldn’t work. I would put them in a ziptop freezer bag and they should be fine. Let me know how it turns out if you try it.
