Steps:

• Chose a roast that is flat and easy to cube.
• cube and salt the roast, allow it to set.
• Add oil to large stock pot.
• Brown meat in oil.
• Add onions and saute.
• Add water 2-3 inches over the meat.
• Add spices and allow to simmer 3-4 hours or until water has boiled down by half (meat should be just visible).
• Mix corn starch with water and use to thicken broth.

Steps:

• In two 1-quart saucepans, heat beef and refried beans separately over medium heat 2 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until hot. Warm tortillas as directed on bag.
• Place about 1/4 cup of the beef on center of each tortilla. Spoon about 2 tablespoons beans onto beef. Top with 1/4 cup of the lettuce, 3 tablespoons tomatoes and 2 tablespoons cheese.
• Fold one end of tortilla up about 1 inch over filling; fold right and left sides over folded end, overlapping. Fold remaining end down.

Steps:

• A day ahead: Grease a large roaster or a roasting pan (I use my large lasagna pan for this).
• Sprinkle the chopped onions in the bottom of the pan.
• In a small bowl or cup mix together all rub ingredients.
• Rinse brisket under cold water, then dry with a paper towel.
• Rub the brisket lightly with vegetable or Canola oil.
• Rub the minced garlic and rub spices over both sides of the brisket, then place into the roaster pan/dish (fat-side down).
• Pour the barbecue sauce over the top of the brisket, do not rub into the meat, as it will disturb the rub spices, just leave the sauce sitting on top of the brisket, some will drizzle over the sides, not to worry!.
• Cover tightly with foil and place in the fridge.
• The following morning turn the brisket over to fat side up.
• Add in the 1 cup water and mix with the sauce in the pan (just mix together the best you can, it does not have to be completely mixed with the BBQ sauce, it will all cook together).
• With clean hands, rub the sauce all over the top of the brisket.
• Cover very tighty (if using foil make a couple of slits in the top of the foil to let steam escape) return to the fridge until ready to cook (for at least another 2 hours.
• Set oven to 325 degrees.
• Remove from the roaster from fridge (preperably 1 hour before cooking and leave on the counter).
• Cook for a about 4-5 hours or more depending on the size of your brisket, or until the brisket is tender (check for doneness after about 3 hours cooking, by inserting a fork into the brisket the meat will be done if the fork goes in very easily).
• Remove and let the brisket sit for 15 minutes before sliceing, then slice against the grain.
• Spoon any fat that has accumulated on top of the sauce, and serve the sauce on the side.
• Delicious!

• Using clean hands mix until combined, add in more breadcrumbs or cracker crumbs if needed to just hold the mixture together (do not overwork the meat or it will be tough).
• Divide the ground beef into 6 equal patties (or make 8 small patties).
• Using your large finger or the back of a small spoon make a shallow dent into the center of each patty (about 1-inch wide).
