Recipe: Brisket Tacos with Summer Salsa

(via)

When I saw this recipe in Southern Living, I knew I needed to try it.  It was definitely a hit in our house and we’ll be making this again soon!  Any recipe where I can use my crockpot is always higher up on my list!

Brisket Tacos with Summer Salsa

Ingredients

• 2 uncooked bacon slices, cut into 1-inch pieces
• 1 medium-sized white onion, chopped
• 2 teaspoons of Kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 beef brisket, trimmed (I used skirt steak and was really delish)
• 1 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
• 3 canned chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
• 3 teaspoons of adobo sauce from can
• 3 garlic cloves, peeled and smashed
• 1 tablespoon ground cumin
• 1 tablespoon Worchester sauce
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 2 tablespoons apple cide vinegar
• 10-12 flour tortillas warmed
• Crunchy Summer Salsa (recipe at the end)

Directions

1. Place bacon & onion in a slow cooker.  Mix salt and pepper together and sprinkle on all sides of brisket (or skirt steak) and place in slow cooker.
2. Process broth and next 7 ingredients in a blender for 30 seconds, or until smooth.  Pour mixture over brisket.  Cover and cook for 7 hours on LOW.   Transfer brisket to a 9X13 inch baking dish and cover with aluminum foil to keep warm.
3. Pour remaining adobo sauce through a fine wire-mesh strainer into a saucepan and cook over medium-high heat, stirring occassionally for 15-20 minutes.  Stir in vinegar.
4. Coarsely chop brisket, spoon over warm tortillas.  Drizzle with sauce and top with salsa.
