Ingredients
  

2 lbs beef brisket

2 tablespoons smoked paprika

1 tablespoon chili powder

1 tablespoon garlic powder

1 tablespoon onion powder

1 teaspoon cumin

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon black pepper

1 cup beef broth

½ cup BBQ sauce (smoky flavor preferred)

8 small corn tortillas

1 cup red cabbage, thinly sliced

½ cup fresh cilantro, chopped

1 avocado, diced

Lime wedges for serving

Instructions
 

Marinate the Brisket: In a bowl, combine the smoked paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Rub this spice mix all over the beef brisket, ensuring it's evenly coated. Wrap the brisket in plastic wrap or foil and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, ideally overnight.

    Cook the Brisket: Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Place the marinated brisket in a roasting pan, pour the beef broth over it, and cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil. Cook for 3-4 hours, or until the brisket is tender and can be easily shredded with a fork.

      Add BBQ Sauce: Remove the brisket from the oven and let it rest for 15 minutes. Shred the brisket using two forks. Mix in the BBQ sauce until the meat is well coated.

        Prepare the Tortillas: While the brisket is resting, heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Warm the corn tortillas for about 30 seconds on each side, just until they are pliable.

          Assemble the Tacos: Lay a warm tortilla on a plate, place a generous portion of shredded BBQ brisket in the center, and top with red cabbage, diced avocado, and fresh cilantro.

            Serve: Squeeze fresh lime juice over the tacos and serve with lime wedges on the side for an extra zing.
