What You Need for Slow Cooker Beef Brisket Tacos

Ingredients:

• 2 teaspoons pink salt
• 2 teaspoons chili powder

• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 cups barbecue sauce

How to Make Slow Cooker Brisket Tacos

1. Place the brisket into a large container or bowl. Mix the salt and spices together and rub all over the top, bottom, and sides of the meat. Put the brisket into the refrigerator, and let it sit with the dry brine for a few hours, or overnight.
2. Pour a little of your favorite barbecue sauce to coat the bottom of a large slow cooker. Place the brisket, fat side up, into the slow cooker and pour the remaining barbecue sauce over it. Then, set your slow cooker on low for 8 hours.
3. Once the brisket is done cooking, carefully remove it and place on a cutting board. Slice the brisket against the grain, removing any big pieces of fat still left.
4. If desired, skim the fat from the sauce remaining in the slow cooker and reserve it to drizzle sauce on top of the brisket tacos when serving.
5. Assemble your tacos with the brisket and your desired toppings, and enjoy!
