Sunday Night Dinner – Brisket Tacos (313/365)

313/365

This dinner was SO good. We got to Jen and Evan’s a little earlier today and when we got there Jen was putting the finishing touches on the meal. We sat down to a feast. There was enough food for eight and despite Jen’s urgings we weren’t able to finish anything…especially the mountain of slaw she made.

We each assembled our own tacos which meant we got to pick just how much of each component we wanted to put on them. They started a corn tortilla base which we figured out worked best when they were warmed for 15 seconds in the microwave. Then, we piled on a generous amount of brisket which was falling apart after slow cooking for 8.5 hours. Each taco was then topped with the homemade, spicy, cabbage slaw, some homemade pickled onions (amazing!), and a couple of jalapenos for some zing. We also basically ate until we couldn’t eat anymore and then settled in to have a movie night. We watched The Lego Movie. Let me rephrase that, Andrew, Evan, and Jen watched The Lego Movie. I watched 1/3 of The Lego Movie and then promptly fell asleep. Still, it was an enjoyable and delicious evening. Also, they’ve raised the bar. Suggestions for what we should cook for dinner next week?
