These are not traditional by any means, but they are super tasty and an amazing crowd pleaser. I highly recommend them for your next tailgate.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Set up a grill for direct heat by building the coals evenly across the bottom.
  2. Place a cast-iron pan on the grill and let get hot, then add the beef tallow or olive oil. Add the peppers, onions and jalapeño with a pinch of salt and toss to coat in the fat. Cook until beginning to char, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and spices and continue to cook until fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes.
  3. When ready to serve: Add some brisket to a warmed tortilla. Top with the fajita mixture followed by the cheese, pico and sour cream, and serve. Alternately: Place a tortilla in a cast-iron pan on the grill. Sprinkle the surface evenly with cheese and toast until the cheese has melted and the tortilla is toasted, 2 minutes. Remove the cheesy tortilla from the pan, then top with the brisket, fajita mix, pico and sour cream. Fold over and serve.
