Preparing the Brisket
To begin, you’ll need a high-quality piece of brisket. Whether you purchase it from a local butcher or order online, make sure it’s fresh and well-marbled. A well-marbled brisket ensures tenderness and juiciness in every bite.
- Start by patting the brisket dry with a paper towel to remove any excess moisture. This step allows the rub to adhere better and enhances the flavors.
- In a small bowl, combine the rub ingredients. The secret to this recipe is the special rub containing a blend of kosher salt, black pepper, turbinado sugar, garlic, smoked paprika, and my personal favorite, chorizo seasoning.
- Generously coat the brisket with the rub mixture, pressing it into the meat to ensure it adheres well.
- Let the brisket sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes. This resting period allows the flavors to penetrate the meat, enhancing its taste.
Smoking the Brisket
Now it’s time to fire up the grill and infuse that wonderful smoky flavor into the brisket.
- While the brisket rests, prepare your smoker according to the manufacturer’s instructions. I personally recommend using the Lone Star Grillz, as it provides excellent heat retention and even cooking.
- Once the smoker reaches a temperature of around 225°F, place the brisket on the grill grates, fat side up.
- Close the lid and let the magic happen. The low and slow cooking method will tenderize the brisket and infuse it with a rich smoky flavor. This process can take anywhere from 8 to 12 hours, so be patient and resist the temptation to peek too often.
- After the brisket reaches an internal temperature of 203°F, remove it from the smoker and let it rest for at least 30 minutes. This resting period allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a moist and succulent brisket.
Creating the Tacos
Now comes the exciting part – transforming that delicious smoked brisket into mouthwatering tacos.
- Start by thinly slicing the brisket against the grain. This technique ensures tender, easy-to-bite pieces of meat in every taco.
- Warm your choice of tortillas either on a grill or stovetop. This step adds a delightful texture to the tacos.
- Fill each tortilla with a generous portion of sliced brisket.
- Add your favorite toppings such as finely chopped onions, freshly chopped cilantro, and a squeeze of lime.
- For an extra kick of flavor, drizzle some salsa or hot sauce over the top.
- Repeat the process until you’ve created a platter full of tantalizing brisket tacos.
Conclusion
By transforming smoked brisket into mouthwatering tacos with chorizo seasoning, you can take your culinary skills to the next level. The combination of smoky, tender meat and vibrant Mexican flavors creates a gastronomic sensation that will leave your taste buds craving for more. So don’t hesitate to try this recipe, and prepare to be amazed by the heavenly union of smoked brisket and traditional taco elements.
