Crock Pot Brisket Tacos

Crock Pot Brisket Tacos - Change up your regular taco night by using brisket while making things easy on yourself by using your crock pot!

I'm kind of over regular easy tacos.  I know that sounds snobby.  I've been making tacos the same way for as long as I can remember.  I buy the yellow box with everything included and I cook up some ground beef or ground turkey and voila, dinner is served.

I started searching for different taco recipes and I came across one called Beef Brisket for Tacos, Enchiladas and Tostadas. And I thought "brisket? for tacos?"  and then  I thought "freakn brilliant".  So thank you to That's Some Good Cookin'.  The recipe seemed so good as it was, I only substituted a few things to go with what I had on hand.  I really hate buying new spices just for one recipe.

Since the whole purpose of me making tacos into a crock pot meal was to save time and let's be honest, get a little lazy in the kitchen, I also got lazy in the whole "building of the tacos".  I bought a bag of one of those salad kits, in Southwestern flavor.  I also bought store made guacamole.  I know, the ultimate in lazy, since guacamole is so easy to make.  Oh well.  Judge me all you want.  I had an easy dinner.

So I put together the salad and all it's toppings in a bowl and set out an assembly line with the salad, guacamole, cheese, salsa and the dressing the came with the salad.  I also put out tortillas.  I only had the big burrito ones on hand but those work too.  Instead of us each having 2 or 3 of the small tacos, we had 1 each.  Okay, maybe 2, but that's because they were so freakn good.

• Line your crock pot with a liner or spray with non stick spray. Place the onion, garlic and broth in the bottom of the crock pot.

• Remove brisket from crockpot and place on cutting board.
