Instructions
Prepare the Brisket
Season the brisket with salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and cumin.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the brisket on all sides until browned.
Transfer the brisket to a slow cooker, add sliced onion, minced garlic, and beef broth.
Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or until the brisket is tender and easily shredded.
Assemble the Tacos
Once the brisket is cooked, shred it using two forks.
Warm the corn tortillas in a skillet or microwave.
Fill each tortilla with shredded brisket and top with cilantro, diced red onion, and a dollop of sour cream.
Serve with lime wedges and salsa on the side.
Notes
For extra flavor, marinate the brisket overnight with the spices before cooking.
