Method
Cut brisket into big chunks, mix spices together and coat brisket, keeping what's left over of the spice mix.
Brown at the bottom of a big pot, leaving the residue at the bottom. Deglaze with onions, and garlic, and add orange and lime juice once transparent.
Then add the rest of the spice mix, tomato can, and beef stock. Bring to a rolling simmer and add beef back in, with chilli if you like (deseeded removes the kick).
Simmer on low for 3 hours
In the meantime heat pickle mix until honey and salt resolve, then slice onions and add to a jar, and cover with pickling liquid. Leave for at least 45 mins
Once meat is soft and falling apart, arrange nacho chips onto tray and add pulled beef brisket. Cover with cheese til brown
Reduce the leftover gravy til thick, and add more cheese if desired. Pour over brown cheese, top with iceberg lettuce, pickled onions, guacamole, lime juice, fresh chilli, and whatever else you like!
