Ingredients

• Beef brisket - 500 grams
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Onion - 1 medium, diced
• Garlic - 3 cloves, minced
• Cumin - 1 teaspoon
• Chili powder - 1 teaspoon
• Smoked paprika - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Beef broth - 250 milliliters
• Corn tortillas - 4 pieces
• Fresh cilantro - 1/4 cup, chopped
• Lime - 1, cut into wedges
• Avocado - 1 medium, sliced

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 150°C (300°F).
2. Heat olive oil in a large, oven-safe pot over medium-high heat. Season the brisket with salt and black pepper, then sear it on both sides until browned, about 4-5 minutes per side.
3. Remove the brisket and set aside. In the same pot, add diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in minced garlic, cumin, chili powder, and smoked paprika, cooking for another minute until fragrant.
4. Return the brisket to the pot, add beef broth, and bring to a simmer. Cover the pot with a lid and transfer it to the preheated oven. Cook for 2-2.5 hours, or until the brisket is fork-tender.
5. Once cooked, remove the brisket from the pot and let it rest for 10 minutes. Shred the meat using two forks.
6. Warm the corn tortillas in a skillet or microwave. To assemble, place shredded brisket on each tortilla, top with chopped cilantro and avocado slices, and serve with lime wedges on the side.
