Preheat the oven to 300°F. Prepare the rub. In a small bowl, place the brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper. Mix until well combined.

Assemble the tacos. Heat the tortillas on the stove for 1 minute on each side.

Lay the tortilla on a flat surface and add the brisket, onion, cilantro, jalapeño and cheese. (See notes 2.)

Pour the reserved sauce from the pan before on top of the taco and enjoy!

You can change the taste of these tacos by just adding different toppings. An example would be diced tomatoes, avocadoes and lettuce.
