Preparation
Place wagyu brisket into a gallon bag or large bowl.
Mix spices together and rub all sides of the brisket.
Place the brisket into the refrigerator and let it sit with the dry brine for a few hours or overnight.
Coat the bottom of a large slow cooker with a little bit of your favorite BBQ sauce.
Place brisket fat side up into the slow cooker and pour remaining barbecue sauce over it.
Set the slow cooker on low for 8 hours.
Once it is done, carefully remove the brisket and place on a cutting board. Slice the brisket against the grain, removing any big pieces of fat.
Assemble tacos with sliced wagyu brisket and top with desired toppings.
Option: Skim the fat from the sauce remaining in the slow cooker and reserve to drizzle sauce on top of the brisket or the tacos when serving.
