I have been feasting on my Memorial Day left overs for days it seems, as I somehow managed to cook for a crowd of 50, when in reality there was only us 4. A smoky brisket that hubby made for us has made my weekday meal planning very easy. One evening served as tacos, the next alongside a baked potato, movie night no problem. Brisket Dip! Enjoy!
Smoky brisket swimming in a Charred tomato salsa covered in cheese, served alongside a stack of homemade tortillas chips. My kinda of movie night fare. There is a jalapeno in the mix. Feel free to remove the seeds or admit it all together. Whip up the batch of tortilla chip early, so you can serve this dip warm from the oven.

You sure know how to make food fun 🙂 I have to show this to my guys, they are going to flip!
A terrific use of leftover brisket, the dip sounds so good!
I’m going to cry – that’s how bad I want it. LOL.
i’ll be honest–brisket isn’t my favorite way to eat beef. not even close. this, however, makes it infinitely more appealing. clever work!
Bonnie!
I love brisket when slow cooked well, and the photo is killing me! YUM!
I continue to be in this massive blogging slump. I have hardly posted anything since February, and read even less. I miss the inspiration! I am going to snoop around her a little more. I know I have missed FAR too much!

Excellent use of leftover brisket! I’m always kind of at a loss. I mean, brisket is tasty enough on its own and I usually take the lazy way out and just eat it as a sammich the next day. This dip is genius 🙂
You’re after my heart. I just know it.
I’ve spent my morning trying to find fun recipes for the summer and this one tops the list. Can’t wait to make it!
Oh my gosh, this makes my belly rumble…I can almost taste it!
I already know this is going to be a family favorite from now on. This looks incredible and never would have thought to do it honestly. I can’t wait to try it out at this dinner party (kids are coming) we have this coming up thursday! Thanks for sharing- really- thanks
Mmm this sounds great to crunch along a movie to! 😀
I love leftovers. And leftover brisket is so versatile. If you get tired of eating it, you can send some this way. LOL
Holy YUM! can’t wait to try this!
Oooo! This is the perfect party food! I’m looking forward to making this for a summer party!
What a great way to use up your leftovers! It looks so good and would go great with a nice cold beer! 🙂
Oooh yum! This reminds me of pot roast dip 🙂
This is an amazing feast! I love brisket and this is like the perfect brisket!
A fantastic Memorial Day dish! I’d love to taste that dip.
Cheers,
Rosa
What? Seriously? These are “leftovers?” I’ll be there in 10.
Your photos look incredibly tasty! Definitely a plus as now I’m planning on making your recipe!
