Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pounds beef brisket
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 cup beef broth
- 12 large lettuce leaves
- 2 ripe avocado
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 small red onion
- 1 medium tomato
- 0.5 cup cilantro
- 1 optional jalapeño
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
In a small bowl, mix together salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and chili powder.
Rub the brisket with olive oil, then coat all sides with the spice mixture.
In a large oven-safe pot or Dutch oven, heat an additional tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat.
Sear the brisket on all sides until browned, about 4 minutes per side. Remove the brisket and set aside.
Pour the beef broth into the pot to deglaze, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
Return the brisket to the pot, cover with a lid, and transfer to the preheated oven.
Cook for about 3.5 to 4 hours, or until the brisket is tender and easily pulled apart with a fork.
While the brisket cooks, prepare the guacamole by mashing the avocados in a bowl and mixing with lime juice, finely chopped red onion, chopped tomato, chopped cilantro, and optional diced jalapeño.
Once the brisket is done, let it rest for 10-15 minutes before shredding it with a fork.
To assemble the burritos, place a generous portion of shredded brisket in the center of each large lettuce leaf.
Top with a spoonful of guacamole and additional cilantro, if desired.
Roll the lettuce leaf to enclose the fillings, folding in the edges to form a burrito.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Whole30 brisket burrito!
