Instructions
If your leftover brisket is not already diced or shredded, cut 1 pound into small bite-size pieces or shred it; set aside.
Open the 17-ounce can of chipotle chiles in adobo. Use a spoon to remove and set the chiles aside for another use. Pour the can’s remaining adobo sauce into a small bowl and set it aside.
Heat 1 teaspoon cooking oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add 1 cup diced onion to the skillet and sauté until fragrant and translucent, about 3–5 minutes.
Add the diced/shredded brisket, the reserved adobo sauce, and 1/3 cup beef broth to the skillet. Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a simmer.
Cover the skillet, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 10 minutes.
While the meat simmers, whisk 1 teaspoon low-sodium soy sauce and 1/2 teaspoon cornstarch in a small bowl until smooth.
Uncover the skillet and stir in the soy–cornstarch mixture. Cook, stirring, until the sauce thickens and coats the brisket, about 1–2 minutes.
Warm 6 corn tortillas on a dry skillet over medium heat or in the microwave until pliable.
Divide the brisket among the warmed tortillas and top with chopped cilantro, pico de gallo, crema, avocado slices, coleslaw, lettuce, and jalapeños as desired. Serve immediately.
