Tomatoes: Lighten up these brisket slow cooker tacos with the simple addition of tomatoes. You can use your favorite store-bought salsa, cherry tomato salsa, dice up fresh tomatoes, or make homemade pico de gallo. Mexican cheese: Tangy and mild, a blend of Mexican cheeses is guaranteed to add a creamy taste to your brisket tacos. For extra freshness, you can even crumble cotija cheese on top of your tacos. Cranberry sauce: Adding a dollop of my naturally sweetened Cranberry Sauce is a festive, vegan way to give your slow cook oatmeal irresistible tartness. Plus, it’s an excellent use of holiday leftovers! I personally do not add any sweeteners to my applesauce, because I found that as apples cook they get sweeter and that sweetness is enough for our taste. You could add a few tablespoons of honey or maple syrup, but I urge you to try it without adding any sweeteners. Especially, if you are making itthe first time.

Pepper: We usually use freshly ground pepper, but I have made this soup with white pepper on occasion, and really like that too.If using a butterball turkey breast, or other pre-brined turkey breast, you may want to use only 1 teaspoon of kosher salt instead of 2, since it's already salted.

Sauce: Nothing pairs better with this shredded brisket recipe than its leftover juices we reduce at the end. Simply follow the steps in the recipe to make the sauce that takes this recipe to the next level. Freeze: To make this recipe a freezer meal, bring the leftover stew to room temperature and store it in airtight, freezer-safe containers in the freezer for up to 2-3 months. Size: Slow cookers must be filled at least halfway to cook effectively. Most slow-cooker recipes are developed for use with a five- or six-quart unit. If you consistently cook for a crowd, there are bigger slow cookers, too.

Toppings (optional): Garnish your steel-cut oats with fresh berries, homemade chunky granola, or unsweetened coconut flakes for a light, sweet take on this classic dish. Or, give your breakfast extra protein by adding peanut butter (or any other nut butter), a handful of nuts, or your favorite granola. Tomato paste: Rich tomato paste will give your brisket gorgeous color and an irresistibly piquant taste. I usually prepare everything before I go to bed and wake up to the most amazing smell in the world. All I need to do the next day is simmer basmati rice and warm naan in the oven for an Indian-inspired dinner of your dreams. Letting the turkey breast rest for 20 minutes before slicing will result in super juicy, moist meat. If you’re worried about it cooling off, you can tent it with foil. Warm heat setting: To maintain the creamy texture of your steel cut oatmeal, I suggest turning your slow cooker to a warm heat setting after 4 hours and keeping it on “warm” until you’re ready to eat. This is especially necessary if you are cooking it overnight.

To use in this dish, I first washed them under water until they are free of any soil. Then I bashed the white part of 1 stalk and chopped the green parts of 2 stalks. I added the white part into the curry mixture and the green parts (leaves) in to the slow cooker with all the other stuff. Sour cream: Cool and tangy, a dollop of sour cream is just what your Mexican brisket tacos need to balance out their robust, spicy taste. You can go with a delicious and chill homemade vanilla ice cream. Or a fancy Boston Cream Pie that features pastry cream. Or even homemade eggnog if you want to think outside the seasonal box. Low and slow: A great way to ensure soft, tender meat is to take time with the recipe. Cook the brisket for at least 8-10 hours on low heat, letting the meat relax and absorb its juices. If you want to serve the tacos at night, begin cooking early in the morning. If you plan to serve these tacos during the day, start slow cooking the night before.
