Ingredients
  

2 lbs beef brisket

1 tablespoon paprika

1 tablespoon chili powder

1 tablespoon brown sugar

1 teaspoon cumin

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon black pepper

1 teaspoon salt

1 cup beef broth

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

8 small corn tortillas

1 cup coleslaw mix

½ cup diced tomatoes

½ cup chopped fresh cilantro

Lime wedges for serving

Instructions
 

Prepare the Brisket: In a small bowl, mix together the paprika, chili powder, brown sugar, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt. Rub this spice mixture all over the brisket, ensuring an even coating.

    Cook the Brisket: Place the seasoned brisket in a slow cooker. Add the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, then cover and cook on low for 8 hours, or until the meat is tender and easily shredded with a fork.

      Shred the Meat: Once cooked, remove the brisket from the slow cooker and let it rest for a few minutes. Shred the meat using two forks, then return it to the slow cooker to soak up the juices for about 10 minutes.

        Warm the Tortillas: In a dry skillet over medium heat, warm the corn tortillas for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.

          Assemble the Tacos: To each tortilla, add a generous portion of the shredded brisket. Top with coleslaw mix, diced tomatoes, and chopped cilantro.

            Serve: Finish with a squeeze of fresh lime juice over the top for added flavor, and serve immediately.
