Is there anything better than barbecue?

Particularly brisket on a barbecue?

Yes.

Brisket Tacos.

They’re all the rage down here.  And now I know why.

Just take some leftover brisket and shred it…or chop it if you like….

Add your favorite barbecue sauce (I mixed mine with a little salsa…)

Serve with beans and rice and corn for a true Southwest feast.

It’s Mexican.

It’s barbecue.

It’s a Texican delight.

Stay tuned, Invisible Friends!  Tomorrow we have a new Dallas Jean Lee and Saturday, more whimsical fun!

    There is a Tex-Mex place in town that does a brisket taco (or more accurately, sells a “barbecue” brisket that comes iwth a side of tortillas). I’m down with it. In fact, I’m so down with it that I”m going to insist on Mexican this weekend.
