Ingredients

2 chipotle chiles in adobo sauce, minced (about 2 tablespoons)
1 ½ tablespoons light brown sugar
3 garlic cloves, grated (about 1 tablespoon)
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 ½ tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon kosher salt
¾ teaspoon black pepper
2 pounds beef brisket, trimmed
¾ cup water
⅓ cup no-salt-added ketchup
2 tablespoons lower-sodium Worcestershire sauce
3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
4 cups shredded multicolored coleslaw mix
16 whole-wheat slider buns

Directions

Stir together the minced chipotle chiles, brown sugar, garlic, cumin, 1/2 tablespoon of the olive oil, 3/4 teaspoon of the salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of the pepper in a small bowl. Rub all of the mixture over the brisket. Place the brisket in a 5- to 6-quart slow cooker.
Whisk together the water, ketchup, Worcestershire, and 2 tablespoons of the vinegar in a small bowl; pour over the brisket in the slow cooker. Cover and cook on LOW until the brisket is very tender, about 8 hours.
Transfer the brisket to a cutting board, reserving the sauce in the slow cooker. Shred the brisket with 2 forks into bite-sized pieces. Return the shredded meat to the reserved sauce in the slow cooker, stirring to combine.
Just before serving, whisk together the remaining 1 tablespoon each olive oil and vinegar and remaining 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Add the coleslaw mix, and toss to coat. Divide the brisket and slaw evenly among the slider buns.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
