Brisket Tacos with Summer Salsa:
2 uncooked bacon slices, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 medium-size white onion, chopped (about 1 cup)
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 (3- to 3 1/2-lb.) beef brisket, trimmed
1 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
3 canned chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
3 tablespoons adobo sauce from can
3 garlic cloves, peeled and smashed
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon dried oregano

1. Place bacon and onion in a 6- to 8-qt. slow cooker. Stir together salt and pepper; sprinkle over all sides of brisket. Place brisket in slow cooker.
2. Process broth and next 7 ingredients in a blender for 30 seconds or until smooth; pour mixture over brisket. Cover and cook on LOW 7 hours or until brisket is fork-tender. Transfer brisket to a 9- x 13-inch baking dish; cover with aluminum foil to keep warm.
