Preheat oven to 350°F and position oven rack in the middle. Spread tortilla chips on a baking sheet and set aside.
Shred beef brisket and discard any fat bits and connective tissue. Combine shredded beef with BBQ sauce and warm through on a skillet over medium heat.
In a separate skillet, combine a can of refried beans with taco sauce. Warm through over medium heat and top with half the shredded cheese. Cover with lid and simmer over low heat until cheese has melted.
Bake tortilla chips for about 5 minutes until warm.
Layer half of the tortillas on the serving platter and dollop the refried beans and cheese. At this point you can add some toppings such as jalapeños, scallions, onions, etc.
Layer the remaining tortillas and shredded beef brisket. Top with remaining cheese and place in the oven for 2 minutes, just until the cheese melts.
Add all your favorite toppings and serve immediately.
