Step 1
Chop the brisket into rough bite-sized pieces; discard any cold fat.
Step 2
Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, ~60 seconds.
Step 3
Add brisket and cook without stirring for 2 minutes, then toss frequently until edges turn crispy and dark, ~4 minutes total.
Step 4
Push brisket to the side. Crack both eggs into the empty space and cook until whites set but yolks jiggle, ~3 minutes.
Step 5
Warm tortillas directly over a gas flame or in a dry pan for 15 seconds per side until pliable.
Step 6
Divide brisket and eggs between tortillas. Top with pickled jalapeños, cilantro, and a lime squeeze.
