Beef Brisket Tacos image

Birthday parties back home were big gatherings of cousins, aunts, uncles, grandparents and anyone else we considered family. As soon as guests arrived, hot pans of shredded brisket, or carne deshebrada, appeared, along with frijoles, tostadas, salsas and huge bowls of salad. Brisket was the dish we always counted on because it could be made in the oven or a slow cooker. -Yvette Marquez, Littleton, Colorado Muy Bueno Recipes + Stories

I made these tacos with ground beef instead of brisket and they were still really good. I think next time I'll try them with shredded chicken.

These tacos are a bit time-consuming to make, but they are definitely worth the effort. The brisket is so tender and flavorful.

I love the combination of flavors in these tacos. The sweetness of the pineapple salsa pairs perfectly with the savory brisket.

These tacos are a great way to use up leftover brisket. I made a big batch of brisket for dinner one night and then used the leftovers to make these tacos the next day.

These tacos are a bit spicy, but you can adjust the amount of heat by using less jalapeño pepper.
