Ingredients

For the Tacos

  • 1 lb leftover smoked brisket chopped into bite-sized pieces
  • 8 eggs
  • 1 tbsp oil
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 8 corn or flour tortillas
  • ½ cup white onion diced
  • ¼ cup fresh cilantro chopped
  • ½ cup queso fresco or shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 jalapeño thinly sliced
  • ¼ cup pickled red onions
  • Lime wedges for serving

Optional Toppings

  • Sour cream
  • Salsa or hot sauce

Instructions

  • Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add canola oil and butter.
  • Add chopped brisket to the pan and sauté until slightly browned, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Reduce heat to low and add the scrambled eggs to the pan. Stir occasionally and remove from heat when eggs are almost done but still slightly wet (they'll continue cooking).
  • Warm tortillas in a dry skillet over medium-low heat, flipping a few times until heated through.
  • To assemble: Place a generous helping of brisket and eggs onto each tortilla.
  • Top with diced white onion, cilantro, cheese, jalapeño slices, and pickled red onions.
  • Finish with a squeeze of lime and any additional toppings you like.
  • Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side.
