Why Cheesy Brisket Tacos?

Let’s face it, brisket is a BBQ staple that never disappoints. It’s rich, smoky, and melt-in-your-mouth delicious. But what if we could take that legendary brisket and turn it into something more? That’s where these Cheesy Brisket Tacos come in. They’re a fresh spin on traditional BBQ that’s sure to wow any crowd, whether it’s a casual family dinner or a BBQ party with friends.

The Star Ingredients

These tacos are all about layering flavors. We start with my tried-and-true traditional brisket method, slow-smoked with a mustard binder and seasoned with Duce’s Wild Texas Rub. The brisket is chopped and placed on a warm, flour tortilla with melted Oaxaca cheese – because, let’s be honest, cheese makes everything better.

A Special Kick: Salsa Macha

To top it all off, I created a Salsa Macha that brings the perfect nutty, smoky, and spicy kick. This salsa features a blend of guajillo, ancho, and árbol chilies, garlic, peanuts, sesame seeds, and a surprise ingredient – toasted tortilla pieces – for added depth. A splash of apple cider vinegar ties it all together, adding a hint of tang.

Garnish for the Win

The finishing touch is all in the garnish. A sprinkle of fresh cilantro and finely diced raw white onion adds brightness and crunch, rounding out the flavor profile and making these tacos as vibrant as they are tasty.
