How a Texas BBQ Joint Fused Tex-Mex and Craft Barbecue — Smoke Point

brisket

🥗Healthier: chicken breast

💰Cheaper: ground beef

Chicken is leaner, while ground beef is more affordable.

cotija cheese

🥗Healthier: feta cheese

💰Cheaper: parmesan cheese

Feta provides a similar tangy flavor, while parmesan is often less expensive.

mayonnaise

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: sour cream

Greek yogurt is lower in calories and adds creaminess.

jalapeños

🥗Healthier: banana peppers

💰Cheaper: bell peppers

Both alternatives provide crunch with less heat.

Cook brisket on a grill until tender, about 6-8 hours at 225°F.

Shred the cooked brisket into bite-sized pieces.

In a bowl, combine corn kernels, mayonnaise, lime juice, and spices.

Mix in shredded brisket and half of the cotija cheese.

Spoon the mixture into serving cups or bowls.

Top with remaining cotija cheese, cilantro, and sliced jalapeños.

Serve with tortilla chips on the side for dipping.
