Vietnamese Brisket Tacos
By :No Pressure Cookbook by Laurel Randolph
I live in Los Angeles, where we are very fortunate to have a number of food trucks and eateries that serve stand-in-line-worthy Vietnamese-Mexican fusion. Vietnamese tacos might seem like a weird combo, but just trust me. It’s a match made in food heaven. Tender meat and crunchy veggies are dressed with savory, tangy, sweet, and salty ingredients for a happy marriage of flavors and textures—no waiting in line required.

    These taste amazing. Couldn’t find brisket in less than 20#, so i used a 2.5# round roast, crossing my fingers that it would work. 45 mins high pressure with 10 minute release. It was perfect. Can’t wait to locate some brisket so I can try it as written.
