Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds Beef Brisket
- 0.25 cup Coconut Aminos
- 2 tablespoons Apple Cider Vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion Powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black Pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
- 1 large Red Bell Pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 medium Yellow Onion, thinly sliced
- 1 optional Jalapeno, thinly sliced
- 8 pieces Whole30 Compliant Grain-Free Tortillas
- 2 large Avocado
- 1 tablespoon Lime Juice

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
In a small bowl, combine coconut aminos, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Rub the brisket with the spice mixture thoroughly.
Place brisket in a large baking dish and cover with aluminum foil. Cook in the preheated oven for 3 hours, or until fork-tender.
While the brisket cooks, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add sliced red bell pepper, yellow onion, and optional jalapeno to the skillet. Sauté until the vegetables are soft and slightly caramelized, about 8-10 minutes. Set aside.
Once the brisket is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes. Then, shred the brisket using two forks.
In a separate bowl, mash the avocados and mix with lime juice and cilantro. Season with salt to taste.
To assemble the quesadillas, place a grain-free tortilla in a clean skillet over medium heat. Layer shredded brisket and sautéed vegetables on one half of the tortilla.
Fold the tortilla in half and cook for about 2-3 minutes per side, until the tortilla is golden and crisp.
Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
Serve the quesadillas with mashed avocado, shredded lettuce, and any extra cilantro.
