DIRECTIONS
Tacos
The just meats brisket heats up in 2 minutes with the seasoning sauce. If cooking your own meat, have that prepared and set aside.
Spray a flat pan with cooking spray and place 2-3 small tortillas on its (depending on how many can flat without overlapping) and heat on both side until lightly toasted.
Remove the tortillas from the pan and assemble the tacos. Tortilla, meat, cheese, avocado, cilantro and pickled onions (and jalapeños, if using). Each serving is 3 small tacos. Enjoy!
Pickled Onions
In a saucepan, heat the water on the stove, until just simmering. Not boiling.
Slice the onions into rings or half-moons. Add to a mason jar.
Add the vinegar, sugar, salt and red pepper flakes to the hot water. Still until the sugar is dissolved. Add that mixture to the mason jar with the onions.
Give it a good stir. Cover. Place in refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
