To assemble the burritos, lay out a large lettuce leaf as the base.

Step 11

Place a generous amount of shredded brisket onto the lettuce leaf.

Top with sliced avocado, shredded cheddar cheese, a dollop of sour cream, and a spoonful of salsa.

Step 13

Sprinkle chopped cilantro over the top for added flavor.
