I typically do pulled pork nachos but I have a couple middle section in the deep freeze I want to use up. I’m making brisket nachos tomorrow for NYE. My question is do you prefer cubes or “fajita style” pieces on your nachos?  TIA

    I prefer chopped actually but that’s just my family’s preference.

    Neither - but closer to fajita style.  I slice it thin - like you would slice any brisket - then cut those slices into about 1" in length - so they end up about 1" square - but about 1 pencil thick - or less.

    But the truth is I've done it about every way and it's all good.

    What about slow cooking it down until you can pull it and adding pulled brisket to the nachos?  That would probably be my preference.

    I've done that too.  Also a great choice.

    Probably not mainstream opinion, but I think I'd prefer putting the meat into sandwiches instead of the nachos. But if you'd prefer it in the nachos, then use fajita style.

    I’ve never done brisket any other way than just sliced. It’s just so stinking good by itself that I just want to enjoy it all alone. If I was to do it on nachos then I’d pull it like I do with pork.
