Tips for Making Honey Glazed Brisket Wraps

• Choose Quality Brisket: Using a good quality cut will enhance the flavor and tenderness of your wraps.
• Let it Rest: Allowing the brisket to rest after cooking helps retain more juices.
• Warm Tortillas: Warm tortillas in a skillet or microwave before wrapping to make them more pliable and less likely to tear.

Make-Ahead Instructions

• You can glaze the brisket and cut it into slices one day before and keep it refrigerated in an airtight container.
• Prepare the vegetables and store them separately for fresh crunch when ready to serve.
• Assemble the wraps just before serving for the best taste and texture.

Storing Leftovers

Store leftover brisket wraps in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. However, the wraps are best enjoyed fresh and may become soggy over time.

Freezing Honey Glazed Brisket Wraps

• If you wish to freeze the wraps, do so without any fresh vegetables or sauces which can become mushy.
• Wrap the brisket tightly in plastic wrap and then foil to prevent freezer burn.
• When stored properly, they can last up to 3 months in the freezer.

Reheating Honey Glazed Brisket Wraps

• Defrost frozen wraps in the refrigerator overnight.
• Reheat in the microwave or on a skillet until heated through. Consider adding a little extra honey glaze while reheating for moisture.

Serving Suggestions

• Classic Baked Beans
• Homemade Coleslaw
