Ingredients

• 3 pounds beef brisket
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1 cup beef broth
• 12 large lettuce leaves
• 2 ripe avocado
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 1 small red onion
• 1 medium tomato
• 0.5 cup cilantro
• 1 optional jalapeño

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).

Step 2

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

Step 3

Rub the brisket with olive oil, then coat all sides with the spice mixture.

Step 4

In a large oven-safe pot or Dutch oven, heat an additional tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat.

Step 5

Sear the brisket on all sides until browned, about 4 minutes per side. Remove the brisket and set aside.

Step 6

Pour the beef broth into the pot to deglaze, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.

Step 7

Return the brisket to the pot, cover with a lid, and transfer to the preheated oven.

Step 8

Cook for about 3.5 to 4 hours, or until the brisket is tender and easily pulled apart with a fork.

Step 9

While the brisket cooks, prepare the guacamole by mashing the avocados in a bowl and mixing with lime juice, finely chopped red onion, chopped tomato, chopped cilantro, and optional diced jalapeño.

Step 10

Once the brisket is done, let it rest for 10-15 minutes before shredding it with a fork.

Step 11

To assemble the burritos, place a generous portion of shredded brisket in the center of each large lettuce leaf.

Step 12

Top with a spoonful of guacamole and additional cilantro, if desired.

Step 13

Roll the lettuce leaf to enclose the fillings, folding in the edges to form a burrito.

Step 14

Serve immediately and enjoy your Whole30 brisket burrito!
