OMG! This is my favorite way to eat brisket. The last brisket I made, I had so much left over, I froze it in individual portions. This works out perfectly. Hmm, I think I'll go make it right now!

GREAT RECIPE The only thing I did different was I used the Zarda BBQ baked beans smashed instead of refried beanS

This one's a winner. Depending on the weight of your brisket, it may take longer to cook. I bought a 4-pound flat-cut trimmed brisket, and it took 7 hours to get tender (not 4.5). I also cut the brisket into 3 pieces to fit in my 5-quart slow cooker. The re-fried bean mixture is a MUST for taste and texture--it really adds flavor to the burrito. Also, I did a spice rub on the brisket before cooking--using a mixture of salt, cayenne, chili powder, coriander and cumin powder. (measurements vary here, I ended up with about 2 tablespoons of spice rub) You could probably use a spice packet as a rub such as Taco or Burrito seasoning (any brand). I just wanted a spicier taste, and it worked. Delicious, highly recommended! Try it! Any way you make it, it will be great. This is like Tex-Mex at home! Who needs a restaurant anyway? Don't forget to briefly warm up the tortillas before stuffing them--I used an ungreased pre-heated cast-iron skillet for tortilla warming (one at a time), and it worked well for this dish. Used all 10 tortillas, too.

I had never made a brisket before and I was a little nervous. But I soon found out I had nothing to fear. This recipe was excellent. I did not add the refried beans or the chilies. And the recipe was still excellent. This is a perfect recipe for after church on Sunday mornings. Start the slow cooker when you get up and by the time you get home dinner is done.

As soon as I saw this recipe, I knew I had to try it. This was so good! My entire family loved this dish. I was a little concerned that it might be too spicy for my young children, but it wasn't. They all ate it and raved about it. They even asked for more; and they don't ever eat brisket! Thanks for the recipe, Ruth.
