Last night we worked on tostacos. Not quite tacos but not tostadas. Started out with a brisket. I cut in half and smoked the flat only.

I let the wsm run at what ever temp it wanted. Foiled pan all vents open. It was between 300-325.

When it hit 160 I wrapped tightly and let it ride until 195. Checked for tenderness and was there yet. It was perfect @ 213. All the liquid was from the flat. The fat cap must of melted away.

I had a slice and it was delicious. I almost wanted to backout of making the tostacos. No lie one of the best piece of brisket I had.

The brisket was notcut against the grain.

Then we made a sauce. Just California chiles brought a quick boil and added salt. Of to the blender they go. This will be used to slightly fry the small tortillas.

Tortillas were dipped in the sauce and the CI had a little oil.

Looks beautiful as always. I just did something similar with pulled pork but they were not fit to take a picture of. They tasted awesome but not very pretty. I will have to try the chilli dip before frying technique next time, that looks tasty.
 
Yes they do look amazing! Looks like another superbowl food!!

And....I wish I had a nickel for every one of those old Miller Lite cans I held in college!! Thanks for bring back some great memories!!
 
When you coming down here?:hail:
Just leave the Heineken behind
 
That looks fantastic. Thanks for sharing your creations. If you ever need someone to hold down an end of a couch during a football game, I am available!
 
Dang, Tony, those look fan-farking-tastic! :clap2:

So....when can we come over?
