No smoker? No problem. Make the best of a good thing with your slow cooker. This fork-tender brisket is magical. Then you know I had to add some cheese sauce and make tacos, because tacos, duh ;).

There are days that are meant to be a celebration between you and your smoker. Long slow summer day, wood chips prepped, brisket trimmed and ready. Visions of tacos dancing in your head. Today was none of those things. There were unexpected downpours all day, it was humid, and work piled up. So my brand new smoker continued to sit unchristened and neglected while I pouted and came up with a plan for my brisket tacos.

I decided to whip out my trusty slow cooker and make the best of things instead of scrapping the whole plan and making another trip to the market. I was determined to use only ingredients in the house and make something that was still finger licking worthy. Something I could still dub smokehouse seal of approval.

Tacos are my happy place.  From the super simple, to the loaded twisted tacos you’ll find on this site.  I want all of them.  Try these out next Tuesday! Do it!
