Looking at this recipe...


quote:


Brisket & Brie Tacos with Mango Barbecue Sauce

Brisket
3 lb brisket
Salt
Ground black pepper
1 Tbsp chili powder
3 cloves garlic, minced
16 oz Dublin Dr. Pepper (made with real sugar)

Mango Barbecue Sauce
1 1/2 Tbsp olive oil
1 medium yellow onion, chopped (about 3/4 – 1 cup)
1/2 cup ketchup
2 Tbsp lemon juice
1 1/2 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 tsp Creole (spicy brown) mustard
Salt
Pepper
1/4 cup mango chutney

Tacos
8 8-in flour tortillas
8 oz brie, thinly sliced
1 cup monterrey jack, shredded
olive oil or cooking spray, to brush tortillas
cilantro, for garnish (optional)

To make the brisket: Rub the meat with salt, pepper, chili powder, and garlic. Place brisket in the crockpot and pour the Dr. Pepper over the top. Cook on low for 8 hours. Remove from the crockpot and let rest for 15 minutes. Slicing against the grain (1/8-1/4 inch thick).

To make the barbecue sauce: Heat olive oil in a 2-qt sauce pan. Saute onions for 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant. Stir in the remaining ingredients and simmer for 5 minutes. Transfer to a blender or food processor and run until smooth.

To assemble the tacos: Heat a griddle or large pan over medium-high. Lay out the tortillas. Divide the meat, brie, and monterrey jack between the tortillas, placing the meat and cheese on half of the tortilla. Top with a spoonful or two of barbecue sauce and fold the other half over. Place on the heated grill (brushing the tortilla with oil or cooking spray will prevent sticking). Cook until the bottom is crisp and flip over. Remove from heat and slice into thirds. Serve with extra barbecue sauce.


Okay, frick the crockpot. I cook a brisket the real way, but I'm curious about using Dr. Pepper (with real sugar). How would one smoke a brisket but use the Dr. P? I'm thinking a glaze(?) (w/the real sugar) or maybe a marinade, but if anyone has some ideas -OR- experience using Dr. P, please input.

I would kill to find out how they make the brisket tacos at Mia's in Dallas.

yep. he seasons up the meat before he puts it on the grill but i guess you could add whatever you want to it while it sits overnight.

he has also boiled a ham in dr pepper talk about good.

I have a mixture that I mop mine with on the smoker. Could mop it with the good Dr. every couple of hours or so.

Putting aside for a moment that cooking anything with soda screams "white trash," my bigger problem with this is the goofy incongruity of flavors... dr. P (which is prune-based, believe it or not) mangos, brie (da frick?) and monterey jack?

It seems to me if you want to do brisket tacos, you'd do so much better with a savory rub and some smoke, some real mexican cheese, some fresh salsas, onions, lime and cilantro.

Take out the brie and jack and put some Stilton in there instead. Stinky tacos!

I don't get the new found love affair for brie. It is the crappiest tasting cheese on the planet. Brisket tacos Si, but use some queso blanco or pepper chevre.
