Mexican Brisket + The Best Taco Ever
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
This "Mexican" Brisket recipe is the beef version of our wildly popular Mexican Pulled Pork recipe that we launched in 2022. A savory pulled pork recipe that is a stark contrast to the sweet pulled pork that I grew up on in the Deep South. That recipe and KZread video are so popular that the technique made its way into our BBQ Schools.
The history behind the Mexican pulled pork recipe comes from conversation with my competition BBQ buddy Sean Woodson. Woody came up with this savory recipe years ago. We have joked that just because you use hot sauce and fajita seasoning that the recipe "isn't all the Mexican" since it in no way is any sort of traditional Mexican dish. However, the recipe needs a name, and we can't think of anything better. Plus, it is super good!
We figured that Mexican pulled pork concept had to be tried on brisket, and well the result were phenomenal! The resulting chopped brisket can be used on all sorts of dishes like tacos, nachos or sandwiches

I just made a Mexican Brisket. It is incredible on tacos. I went to the Meat Church BBQ school last week. It was a great night of food, fun, and teaching. Thank you Matt.

That’s great man.
Substituted 2 small chuck roasts (poor man's brisket) since there are only 3 of us. Came out great using recteq 700 pellet smoker. Leftovers for two more taco dinners. Thanks Matt for all the great recipes and techniques

Crazy. I'm seeing 5 pound chucks for $52 and 12-13 pound briskets for $70ish.
Matt... I have been watching your videos for a while. I recently got a pellet smoker and I'm trying what you preach and I can tell you as a father of 4 and a busy life you have changed mine. Thank you very much!!!
Love the way you explain the application and timing of heat. I’ve used many of your techniques - so far so good. Thanks for being awesome!
Hello from Nuevo Laredo! (Mexican side of Laredo Texas) Here we do also brisket tacos but brisket steaks are done in direct coals! Fat gets crispy and we chop the crispy steaks and they’re awesome with some green salsa, pico de gallo and lime!! Great video man!
Made this for Easter with the fam. First brisket I’ve ever made and it was delicious! Thanks for the great videos Matt 👍🏼
WOW you did it again. I’ve already got a brisket ready to go and it just turned into a taco party! Thank you for all you do!

Thanks again for making something outside the box, but attainable. I love your videos and really hope to come down and visit your store at some point, maybe even take in one of your schools once my son is old enough to come with me and learn. Keep it up, Matt. Y’all are doing great!

Made this last weekend and we loved it. I was smoking a brisket for an engagement party for a friend and we threw another small brisket on to try this for ourselves. We use Valentino instead of Cholula, only to reduce the salt - but it was really fantastic. Great tip on the fajita seasoning - another sodium saver for me. Woody is my cousin, and I had to thank him for both the Mexican pork and now your version of the Mexican brisket. Love the videos, keep 'em coming!
Just tried this over the weekend with your recipe for pickled red onions and jalapeños….. before family left the table this was requested for a family members birthday and again for memorial weekend! Excellent recipe! Compliments and max props to you and Don!
Love it. Thanks.
This dish was the star of our 4th of July BBQ by a long shot. Thank you Matt for helping make a brisket cook a little less intimidating and introducing me to this new staple for all our parties year round.
Yes sir! Another awesome video! This one is definitely on my to-do list soon! Thanks Matt.

Brisket is the one thing I have not tried. It shouldn’t scare me, and when the weather warms up a bit, here in the mitten, I’m gonna give it a try. Keep up the great work.

@@SnackPack913 I haven’t done this recipe yet, but I plan to here soon. The 5 brisket we did for the youth group for brisket tacos came out great! I didn’t know if I should season them like I normally do for traditional Texas style brisket or what. This recipe looks even better but it turns out, Texas style brisket is just delicious even folded in a corn tortilla and topped with cilantro and salsa. The kids are still talking about it! One of them had their parents ask me if I would make tacos for their graduation party next month. Lol. Hey, why not!
My brisket game has been lacking and I needed a bit of a confidence booster. Made this yesterday and it was an overwhelming success! Absolutely delicious, everyone stuffed themselves.
Everything on this channel is amazing. My dad and I BBQ here in NC and we actually don't really use any seasoning on our pork butts. Just smoke it all day on hickory coals with occasional sprays of apple juice. I'm going to get some of your seasoning and give them a try. I can't wait after seeing what you do with them. Yum!
Just made the Mexican Pulled Pork so I can't wait to try this. It really is amazing. One thing I did for the tortillas is dredge them in the top layer of fat and pan fry it making a birria style taco. So that is one thing I would add to the end product.
Getting a new pit and this is on my list to try. Thank you for teaching time and temp, not a specific product. Keep making videos!!!

This recipe inspired me to try this with pork tenderloin I was already planning on cooking later that evening. I added crushed tomatoes and beer instead of beef stock. It was so freaking good! The pork tenderloin was not dry at all. My pregnant wife loved it! Keep up the inspiration Meat Church!
Amazing! Matt, the best Man for American BBQ! Thank you for every Video! No one, is better than you! See you, Bernd
My family loved the mexican pulled pork in the past, so this will be the next venture. Already have the brisket in the freezer from Snake River. I love this part of the video: "Full disclosure, I've never done this before." Cut to: "I've already been smoking a brisket all day that I've prepared like this..." :-) Great work as always Matt!
This video and the pulled pork inspired me to try “Mexican” ribs. I made the Dr Pepper bbq sauce and swapped out Dr Pepper for Mexican Coke and they turned out amazing. So good I forgot to take a picture😂

Man, that looks so good. I agree with Don, you typically don’t enjoy what you cook like you did in this video. I appreciate your After Action Reviews too.
Don’t know how I missed this. No matter, I’m definitely going to be doing this. So many different usages with it and that’s perfect for my family of 6 and our busy work schedules. Every year, as we get into November, I cook up and vac seal a lot of different bbq options with all the holiday traveling and the kids being out of school for the Thanksgiving and Christmas break times. So, this will become a part of my cooking options!
Made the pulled pork version for the first time this weekend. Hands down the best thing I have made on the Traeger. Been eating on it for lunch and dinner all week! Delicious every time.

Love this! I made the Mexican pulled pork and by far the best recipe ever. Can’t wait to make this. My pellet grill cools off around 12-13 hours of smoking. I think because the burn pot is full. When I pull a brisket now to wrap I guess I’ll have to empty the burn pot and heat the pit back up to temp. Until I get my offset!
