MEXICAN BRISKET???

[old smokey nj]

Hello all,

I'm going to a Mexican themed party this weekend, and wanted to smoke a Brisket with a Mexican taste. Any suggestions for a recipe? I was thinking of using a Chorizo sausage recipe, but, aside from that being Spanish and not Mexican, I don't want to screw this up!!! Any suggestions?

Thanks!!!

Season the exterior of the brisket with salt, pepper, cumin, onion powder, garlic powder, and some chili powder.

For sauce, use an enchilada sauce that you heat up in the smoker.  

Corn tortillas will be a hit as well.

Run for the Border Rub

One for the Chili Heads!

2T Kosher Salt

2T Ancho Chile Powder

1T Chipotle Powder

1T Oregano, Mexican is preferred 

1T Gran Garlic

1T Gran Onion

1T Black Pepper

1T Cayenne ( or less to taste )

1-2tsp Gnd Cumin

1tsp Cocoa Powder

1/2tsp Cinnamon

Optional:

2T Turbinado Sugar (Sugar in the Raw)

Makes 3/4 to 1Cup Rub.

This stuff is HOT and full flavored with touch of Smokiness. Feel free to adjust the heat to your taste by playing with the amount of Chipotle and Cayenne Powder. All the ingredients are available at the Grocery Store. This stuff will also Kick Butt as the seasoning in a batch of Chili, leave out the Sugar...JJ
