**Cheesy Ro Tel Chili Brisket Tacos**
**Ingredients:**
– 1 ½ pounds brisket, trimmed
– 1 can (10 ounces) Ro Tel diced tomatoes and green chilies
– 1 packet chili seasoning mix
– 1 cup beef broth
– 1 onion, chopped
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
– 8 small flour tortillas
– 2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese
– Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
– Lime wedges (for serving)
**Instructions:**
1. Start by seasoning the brisket with salt and pepper. In a large skillet or Dutch oven, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
2. Sear the brisket on all sides until browned, then transfer it to a slow cooker.
3. In the same skillet, sauté the chopped onion and garlic until fragrant and translucent.
4. Add the Ro Tel diced tomatoes and green chilies to the skillet, stirring to combine with the onions and garlic.
5. Sprinkle the chili seasoning mix over the tomato mixture and continue to cook for another minute.
6. Pour the beef broth into the skillet, stirring well to incorporate all the flavors.
7. Carefully pour the tomato mixture over the brisket in the slow cooker, making sure to cover the meat evenly.
8. Cover the slow cooker with a lid and cook on low for 6-8 hours or until the brisket is fork-tender and easily pulls apart.
9. Once the brisket is cooked, use two forks to shred the meat directly in the slow cooker, allowing it to soak up all the delicious juices.
10. Preheat your oven broiler. Place flour tortillas on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
11. Pile the shredded brisket onto each tortilla, then sprinkle a generous amount of shredded cheese over the top.
12. Place the baking sheet under the broiler for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
13. Remove the tacos from the oven and garnish with fresh chopped cilantro.
14. Serve the Cheesy Ro Tel Chili Brisket Tacos warm with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.
