Cooking Steps
• Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. • Place slow-cooked beef brisket in a baking dish. • Pour liquid from packaging the over beef. Cover with foil and roast for 15 minutes. • Remove from oven. Uncover, then turn over beef. Roast, uncovered, until browned and heated through, 8-10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, roughly chop tomato. • Grate carrot. • Finely chop garlic and red onion. • Drain and rinse black beans. • In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine half the onion, a drizzle of vinegar and a good pinch of sugar and salt. • Microwave onion for 30 second bursts, until softened.
• Using a food processor, blitz tomato, pickled onion, the brown sugar and a drizzle of olive oil. • Season with salt and pepper. Add a drizzle of vinegar and set aside.
TIP: If you don't have a food processor, use a blender or stick blender! TIP: Pulse for a more chunky consistency if desired.
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over high heat. Cook beans and the remaining onion until tender, 3-5 minutes. • Add the butter, garlic and Tex-Mex spice blend, and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. • Remove from heat then lightly crush with a fork. Cover to keep warm.
• While beans are cooking, in a large bowl, combine mixed salad leaves, carrot, and a drizzle of olive oil. Season. • Microwave mini flour tortillas on a plate in 10-second bursts until warmed through.
• Shred beef brisket using two forks. • Fill tacos with salad, beef brisket and refried black beans. • Top with DIY tomato salsa and light sour cream to serve. Enjoy!

Review summary
Updated on Feb 2026- Flavour: Many enjoyed the dish, but some found it bland. Adding extra seasoning to the meat and adjusting the salsa improved taste.
- Ease of prep: Instructions were unclear for some, particularly regarding beef preparation. The DIY salsa was quick and easy to make.
- Suggestions: Consider including avocado and cucumber in the salsa. Use less vinegar in the salsa; you can always add more.
- Leftovers: The brisket was tender and juicy for some, while others found it dry or tough.
- Portions: Four tacos per person would be a better serving size. There were more beans compared to meat.
