Instructions

Heat a dry skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Warm each tortilla for about 20-30 seconds per side until lightly charred and pliable. Set aside.
To assemble the tacos: Place a generous portion of warm shredded brisket onto each tortilla. Sprinkle it with diced onions, fresh cilantro, and cheese. Finish with a drizzle of BBQ sauce.

Notes

If you are using leftover brisket that has been stored in the fridge, heat it in the microwave for about 30 seconds to warm through.
Alternatively, instead of drizzling this taco with BBQ sauce, you can toss the brisket and BBQ sauce together to coat the meat.
Additional taco toppings can include skillet charred corn, sliced avocado, pickled jalapenos, spicy chimichurri sauce, and a squeeze of fresh lime juice for brightness.
