Steps

  1. Preheat your smoker to 110°C (225°F).
  2. In a bowl, mix smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper to create a dry rub.
  3. Rub the brisket with olive oil, then apply the dry rub evenly over the meat.
  4. Place the brisket in the smoker and smoke for about 4 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 93°C (200°F).
  5. Once cooked, remove the brisket from the smoker and let it rest for 30 minutes before slicing.
  6. While the brisket is resting, warm the gluten-free tortillas on a skillet over medium heat for about 1 minute on each side.
  7. Slice the brisket against the grain into thin strips.
  8. Assemble the tacos by placing slices of brisket on each tortilla, topping with red onion and cilantro.
  9. Serve with lime wedges and drizzle with your favorite gluten-free BBQ sauce.
