Mexican Brisket
My Mexican Brisket takes 5 minutes to prep and a total of 1 hour and 25 minutes to make; it's the perfect main for your Shabbos table!
The fabulous mix of spices is what makes this brisket “Mexican.” I use a mix of cumin, coriander and ancho chili powder. It's the ancho chili powder that gives this recipe its Mexican feel. It's a nice mild-to-moderately hot chile powder. Purchase pure powder, without additives or preservatives, for best flavor. Use it in everything -- sauces, soups, stews, and of course, chili.
After 1 hour and 20 minutes, your brisket will be tender and tasty and it will slice easily (like for a sandwich). Cook it for another 2 hours, as some people prefer, and the meat will break apart easily, just melting in your mouth. There are no rules with this one. I leave you free to experiment and interpret. It’s up to you.
