Brisket Tacos


Sometimes my mom will send us a gift card to On the Border, a chain Mexican place. I normally don't get excited about chain restaurants but they make these amazing Brisket Tacos. I of course decided that I could make them at home. They turned out so well Matt declared him his #2 favorite dinner!
You need to start by making Carrie's shredded beef, this is more than enough beef so you can still have sandwiches. Note to the Baca-Johnson Families:This would be a great Wii Bowling League dinner!
Shredded Beef (half of Carrie's recipe)
1 bottle barbecue sauce
1 chipolte pepper
shredded Monterrey jack cheese
shoe string onion rings (You can buy these frozen or make your own)
tortillas
Place the shredded beef in a sauce pan, cover with barbecue sauce, add a chipolte & stir until heated through. Serve in warm tortillas, top with cheese & onion strings.
If you want to make your own shoestring onions:
1 large vidalia onions
2 eggs, slightly beaten
1 tablespoon milk
1 tablespoon sugar
1 cup flour
3 tablespoons McCormicksLemon Pepper Seasoning
1 teaspoon Accent Seasoning
1 teaspoon Ground Black Pepper
Canola Oil for Frying
Slice onion,form into rings and cut rings in half
Combine egg,milk and sugar into a large baggie or bowl.
Combine flour and seasonings into another large baggie or bowl.
Dip onions in egg mixture than into flour mixture and place into a 400'degree deep fryer for 3 minutes or until lightly browned.
