    A perfect blend of Latin and Jewish fusion, the real winner of these brisket tacos is the quick pickled onions with jalapenos and the creamy avocado tahini sauce!

    You saw brisket tacos in the title and got as excited as as a dog seeing bacon (or something like that?)  Truth be told, the real winner in these brisket tacos are the quick pickled onions and jalapenos!

    The brisket is a no-brainer. I just used the leftover slow cooker brisket I made a few weeks ago, which is a perfect excuse to clean off that lazy Susan and topped with extra pickled jalapenos, because I LOVE all things spicy.

    And to help cool down that pickled hot pepper kick, I dolloped some avocado tahini sauce over the top But instead of blending it up super smooth as I did previously, I left it a bit chunky to keep that “guacamole” feel.
