Smoking Musket Tailgate Menu: Texas, featuring brisket

Another noon kickoff means another breakfast tailgate. When I started looking at this game while planning these posts, I immediately knew I wanted to do barbecue brisket, a Central Texas mainstay. However, with a noon kickoff, smoking a brisket isn’t feasible. That’s OK, we’ll adjust.

Brisket Breakfast Quesadillas

Barbecue in Texas is a ceremonious experience, almost sacramental. Just as you wouldn’t use white wine for communion, you won’t use pork or chicken for Texas barbecue—Texas is all about beef, specifically brisket.

You may remember the steak and eggs tacos from the Texas Tech game. These quesadillas are a more intricate version of that.
