This "Mexican" Brisket recipe is the beef version of our wildly popular Mexican Pulled Pork recipe that we launched in 2022. A savory pulled pork recipe that is a stark contrast to the sweet pulled pork that I grew up on in the Deep South. That recipe and RU-vid video are so popular that the technique made its way into our BBQ Schools.
The history behind the Mexican pulled pork recipe comes from conversation with my competition BBQ buddy Sean Woodson. Woody came up with this savory recipe years ago. We have joked that just because you use hot sauce and fajita seasoning that the recipe "isn't all the Mexican" since it in no way is any sort of traditional Mexican dish. However, the recipe needs a name, and we can't think of anything better. Plus, it is super good!
We figured that Mexican pulled pork concept had to be tried on brisket, and well the result were phenomenal! The resulting chopped brisket can be used on all sorts of dishes like tacos, nachos or sandwiches

I like it! I just did 5 briskets for tacos last weekend for our youth group and I was looking for a video just like this! I’m going to do this for sure!!!

@@letsdomoregoodhow did it turn out?

@letsdomoregood Год назад

@@SnackPack913 I haven’t done this recipe yet, but I plan to here soon. The 5 brisket we did for the youth group for brisket tacos came out great! I didn’t know if I should season them like I normally do for traditional Texas style brisket or what. This recipe looks even better but it turns out, Texas style brisket is just delicious even folded in a corn tortilla and topped with cilantro and salsa. The kids are still talking about it! One of them had their parents ask me if I would make tacos for their graduation party next month. Lol. Hey, why not!

This is Matt, from Boise, Idaho... I accidentally ran across this sauce made by the Melinda company... They have an extensive line of sauces, so far all all I've tasted are amazing!!! They've blown up on my family!!! Some were exchanged as Christmas gifts!!!

@TomFeriancek 3 месяца назад

I’ve been using the fajita seasoning on oven roasted potatoes and they are great . Just some olive oil and the seasoning and the best potato’s ever

@dd.rhythm Год назад

Just letting you know I did this cooking method and it was a banger. Leftovers were a bit salty though, tips? I stored the left over slices with a splash of au jus. Thank you for the videos and your sage advice, tips, and presentation. You're the man.

@MeatChurchBBQ Год назад

Awesome! hard to say why your leftover were salty. You can subdue that with stock next time.

@jeffpuffenbarger6800 Год назад

Awesome recipe Matt! Thanks to Don for begging you to make it. I'm definitely making this soon. My mouth was watering when you put that taco together. Keep the vids coming because you are the best BBQ guy out there!

@fourpressmedia2674 Год назад

Matt - if you want to try something unbelievably good, take a smoked brisket, cut into 4-6 big pieces and drop it into your next crawfish boil for a few mins. It completely amplifies the smoke flavor and will blow your mind.

Made this last weekend and we loved it. I was smoking a brisket for an engagement party for a friend and we threw another small brisket on to try this for ourselves. We use Valentino instead of Cholula, only to reduce the salt - but it was really fantastic. Great tip on the fajita seasoning - another sodium saver for me. Woody is my cousin, and I had to thank him for both the Mexican pork and now your version of the Mexican brisket. Love the videos, keep 'em coming!

Watched this and used Holy Cow and the Fajita seasoning for my “overnight” brisket . On Traeger Silverton 810 with Supersmoke at 6:30 pm and will probably wrap it around 6-7am tomorrow and let it slowly cook until I pull it at 3 pm

@chrismiller100 20 дней назад

I was recently asked to prepare and serve food for about 100 people at a congregation event. The ask was "minimal utensils, handheld food, quick and easy to serve." The first thing that came to mind was tacos. I love making smoked meats, and considered doing a smoked carnitas, but quickly dismissed that and decided on smoked brisket tacos. I love the incorporation of the pickled red onions, and will definitely be making a bunch of those for this event, too. I am considering cooking the brisket the day before, refrigerating in foil pans, and re-heating on a large outdoor griddle. Do you foresee any issues with this approach? I likely won't incorporate as much hot sauce, since this will be for a fairly large crowd, but I'll have a variety of hot sauces available as add-ons.

@Glamis4Life08 Год назад

Ok, I don’t normally leave comments. But, I watched this video yesterday morning when I was getting ideas on what to bbq for the day. I ended up making this but with a chuck roast. I am struggling to find words for my reaction because my reaction made me question so much. Tears were brought to my eyes after the first bite. Is that a thing? Food so good it triggers an emotional response? Haha. 10/10, would recommend! Looking forward to doing this with a brisket now.

@dustinbryant8233 Год назад

Maybe you do this somewhere else but you should include the reactions from your crew when they get a chance to eat what you make. Maybe a highlight reel or something similar?

@lynngoodwin3223 Год назад

I have to giggle just a little every time you put butter on something and say "I'm not here to help you lose weight". I am on a Carnivore diet for autoimmune health (have lost 75 lbs) and we Carnivores eat high fat protein and high animal fat only. Many Carnivores eat a stick (many eat more) of butter/day in the form of butter bites and butter coffee in addition to fatty animal proteins, and we avoid carbs (including veg) and any forms of sugar. So the next time you put butter on something, maybe you will giggle just a little too. I really enjoy your videos, I have learned a ton.

@srock-un9ju Год назад

Hi Matt. Love your videos and all your rubs. When you made this brisket, when you wrapped, you added Cholula, but did not reseason with Fajita. Was this intentional? Thanks!

@kylemangum4124 7 месяцев назад

I am making this right now, but being in Hawaii I can’t find all of your seasonings, so I’m using Kinder’s fajita seasoning. I’m also going to use the chili garlic cholula instead of original!

@darren3589 Год назад

Looks phenomenal Matt! I can't wait to give this recipe a go... However, what would your thoughts be on throwing a little beer in as a braising liquid rather than the stock?

@MeatChurchBBQ Год назад

That would work actually.

@BigPeter1313 Год назад

Cholula Garlic Chili hot sauce would add an extra layer of flavor. Tabasco Chipotle could be another idea; wonderful flavor in that hot sauce and not too hot or vinegary like the original.

@Deyar87 Год назад

This wants to be Suadero but it will never be. Get yourself a disco and confit the brisket in pork fat with longaniza and tripas.

@chrisconnolly4603 Год назад

Honest question from a newbie. If you put that pan of chopped brisket back in the smoker with all that juice in it would it take on more smoke flavor or just crust up the top layer?

@poogan1239 Год назад

I use your seasonings almost exclusively, but you made one comment that aligned with my opinion on your line of seasonings and that was that the Fajita seems a bit salty. I haven’t used it on anything like beef or pork, but on chicken and shrimp or other items it seems I can only use a very small amount or it seems salt heavy. Still love all your other seasoning, but if there was one thing I can “critique” it’s the fajita is very salt heavy IMO! Love all your recipes and seasonings though!

@turtles9707 Год назад

Yeah, I used it on some beef cheeks and seasoned like I normally do with Meat Church seasonings. They were completely ruined way too salty. Haven't used it since.
