Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).

In a small bowl, mix together the salt, ground black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.

Step 3

Rub the spice mixture evenly over both sides of the beef brisket.

In a large ovenproof pot, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the brisket and sear for about 5 minutes on each side, or until a deep brown crust forms.

Cover the pot with a lid and transfer to the preheated oven. Cook for approximately 4 hours, or until the brisket is fork-tender.

Remove the brisket from the oven and let it rest for about 15 minutes. Then, shred the brisket using two forks.

Step 9

Warm the gluten-free corn tortillas in a skillet or microwave until soft.

Step 10

To assemble the tacos, place a portion of shredded brisket onto each tortilla. Top with chopped cilantro, a squeeze of lime, sliced jalapeños, pico de gallo, and avocado slices.
