I smoked a small packer brisket for competition practice yesterday, 10 lbs before trimming. 

Injected with beef broth and Bragg's liquid aminos.  Rub was pepper/salt/garlic based.

Did low/slow at 250f with hickory/cherry for the smoke.

Tonight I needed a quick dinner after my son's football practice so I warmed up the burned ends in some au jus and then diced them.  Put it in a tortilla with Mexican rice, cheese, black olives, and green onion then deep fried it.

Topped it with some queso and we were in business!

It was a lot better than just driving through Taco Bell ;)

    That looks and sounds fabulous, nice work.
    I raise my kids, cook and golf.  When work gets in the way I'm pissed, I'm pissed off 48 weeks a year.
    Inbetween Iowa and Colorado, not close to anything remotely entertaining outside of football season.

    Nice use of leftovers. I will hv to post a pic of mrs ragu's leftover steak nachos. She Uses lime juice, garlic and onion to wake up the leftover steak. Seems Mexican food is well suited for making into leftovers

    @Chubbs - I cheated this time.  We don't get home from football practice until 9pm, so I used a jarred queso this time.

    Normally I do a simple 1 1/2 Tbsp butter, saute some finely diced onions/peppers, add in 1 Tbsp AP flour until a roux forms.  Then pour in half and half or cream by sight, but about 1 to 1 1/2 cup and bring to a slow simmer.  Add in shredded monterey jack cheese.  Season with salt, pepper and a little taco seasoning.
