This is one of my family's favorite meals in the summertime. It is a very simple and easy meal to prepare. I get a 6 to 7 pound brisket (trimmed). Place the brisket in a baking dish and add salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste. One jar of country style Dijon mustard. Spread the top of the brisket with the mustard. Then cover the pan with aluminum foil and bake at 300 degrees for about 4 hours. We like our meat well done. If you want the brisket medium well I would suggest cooking it for 2 to 2 1/2 hours.
When the brisket is done, I let it cool about 20 minutes. I then place it on a platter and separate the meat with a fork. Be sure to leave the mustard on the meat....it adds a lot of flavor.
I make a salsa with garden tomatoes, fresh garlic, fresh jalapenos, sweet onions and salt. I chop the tomatoes and onions in small chunks and the jalapenos and garlic are finely chopped. I add salt to taste.
I then put strips of the brisket on a whole wheat flour tortilla with a dollop of sour cream and a generous amount of salsa. I serve this with guacamole and Spanish rice. The mingled flavors of the brisket with the fresh salsa is amazing.
Enjoy! :)
