Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
Sprinkle kosher salt and 1 teaspoon black pepper over the fatty side of brisket. Spread tomato paste over entire brisket. Place brisket, fat-side up, in a heavy pot, pour in enough water to cover brisket. Add halved onion, carrot, celery, 1/2 of the cilantro, and garlic to the pot. Bring liquid to a boil. Cover pot with a lid or aluminum foil and transfer to oven.
Bake in the preheated oven until brisket is very tender, about 6 hours.
Blend chipotle peppers in adobo sauce in a a food processor until finely chopped. Add vinegar to peppers and continue processing, drizzle olive oil into mixture until smooth.
Remove brisket from liquid and cool slightly. Slice meat across the grain into 2-inch slices, shred thoroughly with a fork.
Combine shredded meat, chopped onion, tomato, remaining cilantro, and pepper mixture in a large bowl, season with salt and pepper. Serve meat mixture with corn tortillas and top meat with Monterey Jack cheese.
