Brisket Tacos Instructions

Step 1: Prep Your Truboy BBQ Smoked Brisket

Reheat the Brisket: Preheat your oven to 275°F (135°C). Remove the Truboy BBQ Whole Smoked Brisket from its vacuum-sealed package and wrap it in aluminum foil. Place it on a baking sheet and reheat in the oven for about 1 to 1.5 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Slice the Brisket: Once the brisket is heated through, allow it to rest for a few minutes before slicing. Use a sharp knife to cut the brisket against the grain into thin slices. This ensures tender bites that melt in your mouth.

Step 2: Make the Pico de Gallo

Step 3: Prepare the Avocado Crema

Blend Ingredients: In a blender or food processor, combine the avocados, sour cream, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning as needed.

Step 4: Warm the Tortillas

Heat Tortillas: In a dry skillet over medium heat, warm the tortillas one at a time until they are pliable and slightly charred around the edges. Keep them warm by wrapping them in a clean kitchen towel.

Step 5: Assemble the Tacos

Layer the Tacos: Place a few slices of the reheated brisket on each warm tortilla. Top with a generous spoonful of pico de gallo, a drizzle of avocado crema, and a sprinkle of chopped onion and cilantro.

Add Cheese: Finish with a scattering of crumbled queso fresco or cotija cheese.

Serve with Lime: Serve the tacos with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of freshness.

Step 6: Make Your Tacos Extra Yummy

1. Pickled Red Onions: Add a tangy crunch by topping your tacos with pickled red onions. To make quick pickled onions, slice a red onion thinly and soak it in a mixture of 1/2 cup white vinegar, 1/2 cup water, 1 tablespoon sugar, and 1 teaspoon salt for at least 30 minutes.

2. Sliced Radishes: Thinly slice fresh radishes for a peppery crunch that complements the rich brisket.

3. Fresh Jalapeño Slices: For those who love heat, add fresh jalapeño slices to your tacos for an extra kick.

4. Hot Sauce: Keep a bottle of your favorite hot sauce handy to spice up your tacos to your liking.

Step 7: Enjoy the Taste of Texas BBQ
