MAKE THE BRISKET: Set the oven @ 325ºF/163ºC.
In a large saucepan, heat the oil over medium-high. Season
the brisket with salt and pepper, then add to the pan, and
cook, turning as needed, until browned all over, about 12
minutes. Transfer the brisket to a plate and return the
pan to medium heat.
Add the carrot, celery, onion, and garlic, and cook,
stirring, for 5 minutes. Add the tomato puree, adobo
sauce, cumin, oregano, and bay leaf and cook, stirring,
for 2 minutes. Stir in the beer, then return the brisket
to the pot and pour enough water into the pot to cover the
meat and bring it to a boil. Cover with the lid and bake
until the brisket is very tender, about 2 1/2 hours.
Transfer the pan to a rack and let the brisket cool in the
cooking liquid.
Once cooled, remove the brisket from liquid and shred with
two forks. Pour the braising liquid into a blender and
puree until smooth. Return the liquid to the pot over
medium heat, stir in the shredded brisket, and reheat
until warmed through.
MEANWHILE, MAKE THE TOMATILLO SALSA: In a blender, puree
the cilantro with the tomatillos, garlic, jalapenos,
yellow onion, and avocado, and season with salt.
Serve the brisket in the tortillas and top with a drizzle
of the tomatillo salsa and the red onions, chopped
cilantro, and lime wedges.
Serves 8
