• 1 large onion
• 4 large garlic cloves
• 2 teaspoons cumin
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 cups beef stock
• 2 cups long grain rice
• 4 cups water
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 medium roma tomatoes
• 1 large avocado
• 0.5 cup cilantro
• 1 large lime

Directions

Step 1

1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).

Step 2

2. Trim excess fat from the brisket and season it with cumin, smoked paprika, sea salt, and black pepper on both sides.

Step 3

3. Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.

Step 4

4. Sear the brisket in the pot until it is browned on all sides, approximately 4-5 minutes per side. Set the brisket aside.

Step 5

5. Chop the onion and mince the garlic cloves.

Step 6

6. In the same pot, add the onions and garlic, sautéing until the onions are translucent, approximately 5 minutes.

Step 7

7. Add the chipotle peppers with adobo sauce and beef stock to the pot, stirring to combine.

Step 8

8. Return the seared brisket to the pot, covering it with the sauce.

Step 9

9. Cover the pot with a lid and transfer it to the preheated oven. Braise the brisket for 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the meat is tender and pulls apart easily.

Step 10

10. While the brisket is cooking, rinse the rice under cold water and drain well.

Step 11

11. In a medium saucepan, bring the water to a boil. Add the rice, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18-20 minutes until the rice is cooked and fluffy.

Step 12

12. Dice the roma tomatoes and avocado. Roughly chop the cilantro and cut the lime into wedges.

Step 13

13. Once the brisket is cooked, shred it using two forks directly in the pot to mix with the sauce.

Step 14

14. To assemble the bowls, start with a base of rice, add a generous portion of shredded chipotle brisket, and top with diced tomatoes, avocado, and cilantro.

Step 15

15. Serve with lime wedges on the side for an added zest.
