Servings 8 tacos
Calories 180kcal
Ingredients
- 1 pound leftover brisket chopped
- 8 tortillas flour or corn
- Optional toppings: Shredded lettuce, pico de gallo, chopped tomatoes, sliced jalapeños, fresh cilantro
Instructions
- Reheat the leftover brisket in the oven with a few tablespoons of leftover juices or broth at 325F for about 20 minutes, or until warmed through.
- As the brisket reheats, prepare the toppings and warm the tortillas. I warm tortillas using a cast iron comal over medium-high heat or oven an open flame. This can also be done in the microwave or oven.
- Once everything is prepped and warm, add brisket and toppings to warm tortillas and serve immediately.
Notes
If you don’t want to reheat brisket in the oven, warm it in a small saucepan on the stovetop over low-medium heat. I do not recommend reheating the meat in the microwave.
