    We have two to three cups of leftover (Smoque) chopped brisket. What would you do with it?

    If I wanted to get away from eating it cold straight from the leftover container with some vinegar or barbecue sauce (which is likely what I'd be doing) I'd do yum nua, Thai beef salad:

    Mix it with lime juice, fish sauce, shallot, cilantro, lemongrass, sugar, cucumbers, and chiles to taste. The smoke should add a nice layer of flavor. You could also do beef larb - add some mint and toasted crushed brown rice.

    If it isn't already sauced, tacos are one way to go.

    This is what I do with leftover whole brisket, adapt accordingly and use about 1/2 cup of stock for your 2 cups of brisket.

    BBQ Brisket
    Chicken or Beef Stock

    Cut brisket into cross-grain slices, 3/4 inch thick.
    Break the slices into smaller chunks and put into a large fry pan,
    add either chicken or beef stock, and put on high.
    Once the brisket is very hot, mash the meat into the stock with a wire type potato masher.
    Continue cooking and stirring until meat is moist but not dripping.
    Season as desired however meat should not require additional seasoning.

    For toppings I use what is available

    kremslach: shallow-fried patties of mashed potatoes with a bit of brisket inside.

    They're addictive, and as you eat them, you can feel them stacking up in your aorta.
    Totally worth it.

    I was going to suggest brisket tacos, a specialty of Mia's, my favorite Tex-Mex place in Dallas. Marshall beat me to it.

    Beef barley soup. Or maybe split pea or lentil soup.

    Thanks to everyone for the ideas. I went with Bill's suggestion of Salpicón salad. Sorry, no pics. Hunger is not a motivated photographer. I found several Salpicón salad recipes and went with the one on Recipezaar. I would have liked the dressing to have had more kick -- my chipotles in adobe must have been mild. Mr. X dutifully ate it, but he thought the smoked brisket detracted somewhat from the overall taste.

    There's still more brisket left. It might end up in the freezer since we're hitting the GCM BBQ tomorrow night.
