Instructions

Prepare the Brisket

Season the brisket with salt, pepper, paprika, and cumin. Smoke or slow-cook for 8 hours at 225°F (107°C) until tender.

Pro tip: For an even smokier flavor, use hickory wood chips.

Make the BBQ Sauce

In a saucepan, combine ketchup, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, and chili powder. Heat over low for 15 minutes.

Pro tip: Add a bit of liquid smoke to enhance the flavor of the sauce.

Shred the Brisket

Once the brisket is cooked, let it rest for 30 minutes, then shred it using two forks.

Pro tip: Use gloves to avoid burning your hands while shredding.

Assemble the Nachos

On a baking sheet, spread the tortilla chips, then top with the shredded brisket, cheddar and mozzarella cheese, and jalapeños.

Pro tip: Use thick tortilla chips for better resistance to melted cheese.

Melt the Cheese

Preheat the grill to medium heat and cook the nachos for 5-7 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Pro tip: Watch closely to prevent the chips from burning.

Add the Toppings

Remove the nachos from the grill and top with chopped green onions. Serve with the BBQ sauce on the side.

Pro tip: For a fresh touch, add chopped cilantro before serving.
