Tacos capitalize on convenience and portability for <a href=\"https:\/\/griffithfoods.com\/na\/en-CA\/viewpoints\/snack-time-stepping-up-its-game\/\">on-the-go eaters<\/a> while meeting consumer demand for savory options that satiate.<\/p>    <p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Corporate Chef Timothy Baran\u2019s mini, crispy braised chipotle beef tacos are no exception. <\/strong>They don\u2019t require fussy ingredients, are easy to take on the go, and deliver maximum flavor with every bite.<\/p>    <h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mini Braised Chipotle Beef Tacos<\/h2>    <p>Chef Timothy\u2019s mini tacos center around a rotisserie beef brisket marinated in <strong>Griffith Foods\u2019 Chipotle Marinade<\/strong>. It\u2019s a bold, spicy marinade with notes of sauteed garlic, fresh onion, fresh cilantro, and sustainably-sourced cracked black pepper. Once piled high on a warm tortilla with sliced jalapeno, shaved radish, pickled red onions, and crumbled cotija, a squeeze of lime brightens the flavor and brings it all together.<\/p>    <h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tender, Smoky Brisket Without Hours on the Grill<\/h2>    <p>Brisket is a notoriously tough cut of beef. Adding a proprietary natural tenderizer to the Chipotle Marinade helps break down the brisket\u2019s fibers and connective tissue. <strong>The result is as tender as beef tenderloin without hours of marinating or slow cooking<\/strong>.
