Instructions
- Pat beef brisket dry and place in a plastic bag. Add hoisin sauce to bag, seal, and then shake until sauce is well distributed around beef. Set aside for at least 1 hour, or overnight in the refrigerator. Preheat oven to 300℉. Place brisket in a pot and add remaining marinade ingredients. Mix and turn brisket until it is well covered. Cover pot and cook in oven for 4-5 hours, until internal temperature reaches 200℉. Remove from oven, remove lid, and allow to rest for 30-60 minutes. When done, remove from pot and slice into thin steaks. While brisket is cooking, prepare cream and apple slaw. For cream, add all ingredients to a blender and process until smooth. Set aside. For apple slaw, slice all ingredients, transfer to a large mixing bowl, then toss until well combined. When ready to serve, lightly toast tortillas and spread a layer of cilantro avocado cream inside each. Layer 2-3 slices of brisket on top, then add apple slaw. Garnish with hemp seeds and pickled onions (optional) and serve!
