These Leftover Brisket Tacos were my husband’s favorite recipe of our “cook once eat twice” brisket series. With good reason! it is so simple and the addition of the poblano, onions, and tomatillo salsa changes up the flavor of the beef so you really feel like you are getting a new meal, not just a leftover one.
I noted in the recipe that I prefer 3 or 4 little tacos as opposed to one big one. I cut up one low-carb tortilla into fourths and wrap them corner to corner. If you like one big taco do it that way, whatever you prefer! Check out the original recipe for the oven-braised brisket here so you can have a protein ready to go for the rest of the week! If you are looking for a strict keto tortilla option I recommend these by Paola over at Gnom-Gnom. When I have the time I always make these and they turn out great!
Stay tuned for at least one more recipe in the next day or so using the oven-braised brisket to make your meal prep easy peasy! I hope you all love this recipe as much as we do, have any questions? Feel free to ask below I’m happy to answer! If you want to see all my new recipes follow my Facebook page Table and a Chair. I post all the new recipes there first!
