Ingredients
  

Steak Sauce

  • 3 dried guajillo chiles stemmed and seeded
  • ¼ cup canola oil
  • ½ cup white onion diced
  • 2 cloves garlic wjole
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ tsp ground cumin
  • ½ teaspoon chili powder preferably chipotle
  • ½ teaspoon red wine vinegar
  • 1 lime juiced

Brisket Tacos

  • 1 tbs canola oil
  • 1 tbs butter
  • 1 lb brisket lean, cooked
  • 8 eggs scrambled
  • ½ cup white onion
  • ¼ cup cilantro chopped
  • 1 lime slice
  • 8 green onions grilled
  • ½ cup queso fresco cheese crumbled
  • 1 jalapeño pepper thinly sliced
  • ¼ cup pickled red onion

Instructions
 

Sauce

  • Remove the stems and seeds from three dried guajillo chiles. Heat them in a skillet over medium heat for one minute each side. They should get darker in color, but do not burn them. Soak the toasted chiles in hot water for 30 minutes.
  • Sauté white onion with two whole garlic cloves until the onion is softened and slight browned and the garlic has begun to brown. Remove from heat and set aside. Drain the chiles and discard the soaking liquid. Add the chiles to a blender with the onion, garlic, salt, cumin, chili powder, red wine vinegar, canola oil and lime juice. Blend until smooth.

Brisket Tacos

  • Chop the brisket and sauté in a little canola oil and butter over medium heat in a non-stick pan until the meat is slightly browned.
  • Add the eggs and reduce the heat to simmer. Stir occasionally and remove from the heat when the eggs are almost done but still a little wet. They will continue to cook.
  • Spoon a generous helping of brisket and eggs onto a tortilla. Add some of the guajillo steak sauce, top with chopped white onions, cilantro, queso fresco, thin slices of fresh jalapeño peppers and some pickled red onion. Serve with lime slices and grilled green onions.
