Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 to 2 Lbs beef brisket
  • 2 cup can diced tomatoes with juice
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup red wine
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1 1/2 Teaspoon dried ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon dried ground oregano
  • 1 sliced and deseeded jalapeno
  • 3 tablespoons cilantro
  • 1 large thickly sliced onions
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 Tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

  1. Combine all ingredients in a Ziploc bag. Marinate meat in all ingredients overnight or at least for 4 hours in refrigerator; turn bag over at least once while marinating. These ingredients can be frozen but needs to be completely thawed before cooking.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoon of the olive oil in a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the brisket well on all sides, making meat caramelized but still raw in the middle. Place the browned meat in crock-pot. Combine all marinated ingredients from bag in to the Crock-pot; cover and cook for 8 hours on LOW or 5 to 6 hours on HIGH, or until the meat is fork-tender and can be easily shred with a fork.
  3. Service on tortillas, with graded cheese, guacamole, salsa and sour cream.
