A Taste of Home: Brisket Tacos Across Borders

Growing up far from my hometown, I’ve always missed the flavors that remind me of family gatherings and laughter echoing through the kitchen. Today, I tried to recreate a piece of that nostalgia with a brisket taco, but I wanted to add a twist that would make it feel like a bridge between my old home and my new one. I slow-cooked the brisket until it was melt-in-your-mouth tender, then topped it with a vibrant hatch green chile salsa—spicy, smoky, and just a little tangy. Instead of the usual cheddar, I crumbled cotija cheese on top, letting its salty bite bring everything together. Each bite was a reminder that food can connect us to places and people, no matter how far we roam. Have you ever tried to recreate a dish from home in a new country? What flavors bring you comfort?
