- Wrap the tortillas in lightly damp paper towels and steam in the microwave just until warm and pliable.4 corn tortillas
- Divide the warm and crispy brisket evenly out between the tortillas, then add your favorite toppings, serve, and enjoy!assorted toppings
Notes
- Do not, and I cannot stress this enough, microwave the brisket meat for the tacos. It will turn rubbery and not crispy and delicious the way it would if you pan fry it as directed.
- You want the pan pretty hot so the edges of the meat get crisp.
- This recipe easily scales up or down if you are feeding more people or are only feeding yourself.
