Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
In a small bowl, combine smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper.
Rub the spice mixture evenly over the beef brisket.
Heat vegetable oil in a large, oven-proof pot over medium-high heat.
Sear the brisket on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side.
Remove the brisket and set aside.
Add beef broth to the pot, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
Return the brisket to the pot, cover with a lid or foil, and transfer to the preheated oven.
Bake for 4 hours, or until the brisket is tender and easy to shred.
Remove from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes.
Shred the brisket using two forks.
Place a flour tortilla on a clean work surface.
Add a portion of shredded brisket, some cooked rice, a few spoonfuls of black beans, and a sprinkle of cheddar cheese onto the tortilla.
Drizzle with sour cream and salsa to taste.
Sprinkle with chopped cilantro.
Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll it up tightly to enclose the filling.
Repeat with the remaining tortillas and fillings.
Serve the brisket burritos warm, with additional salsa and sour cream if desired.
