What temp did you pull them?

Did you use a pan or foil?

Meat temp was around 198. Did not foil. nice bark.

One of our local tex-mex joints has some wicked shredded brisket tacos. Soft taco's that are "street vendor" style. Shredded jack cheese and some avocado slices and you've got yourself a fine meal.

The taco idea sounds great!

Made some chuckies last weekend and had some left over will do that.

Have made lot's of tacos with smoked beer can chicken, but not this year, must be part of that old timers disease I have.....

Thanks for refreshing my memory.

Being a native Texan, I make Taco's out of almost all my leftovers, especially smoked Brisket or Turkey.

Shred the Beef and then you are going to cook it again. Start out by sweating down some Chopped Onion, Garlic, and Jalapenos in Olive Oil in a large skillet over medium heat. If you like Tomatoes throw in a can or two with the can juice and let them cook down as well. 15 to 20 minutes in a hot pan will bring out the sweetness of the tomatoes. I also like to add a small can of mild diced green chiles towards the end.

Next step is to add your shredded beef along with enough beef stock to almost cover and let it simmer uncovered stiring occasionally for 30 - 40 minutes until some of the cooking liquid evaporates (For Turkey use Chicken Stock).

Take it off the heat, add a handful of freshly chopped Cilantro and shredded cheese and you have a killer Barbacoa filling to make Tacos, Enchiladas, or Quesadillas.
