Brisket Tacos

Brisket Tacos were a last minute miracle! These turned out to be so flavorful and delicious!

We had a party before Christmas Eve and it was super busy at the store and we couldn’t find flank steak or skirt steak anywhere. We went to three stores looking, finally we found some brisket and decided to go with it.

Then the next morning we decide we better do some research before we cooked it. We had already cut it up into 2 inch by 2 inch strips and then marinated it. Then we realized that it is significantly more fat to render in the brisket and so this is what we did!

Brisket Tacos

Ingredients

2 oranges, freshly squeezed
2 limes, freshly squeezed
1/4 cup olive oil
2 teaspoons salt
5 cloves of garlic
2 teaspoons Mexican oregano
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 medium white onion
1/4 cup roasted diced green chiles
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 cup chopped cilantro

Directions

Put all the ingredients into the blender and blend until smooth.
Trim the brisket by cutting off all of the hard fat and trimming the soft fat so there is only 1/4 inch of it.
Then cut into 2 inch by 2 inch cubes. Pour the marinade over the top of the meat and marinade overnight.
Then the next morning preheat the oven to 250 degrees. Place on a cookie sheet and bake until it reaches close to 200 degrees Fahrenheit. Then we threw it on the grill to char it up a little.
Let the meat rest for at least 20 minutes and then chopped into little pieces.
