In light of the brick being so porous, I would apply a 'thin set' over the brick surface and allow to dry; ensuring the thin set is kept flat, smooth and all voids have been filled. Once dry, then move forward with your standard tile mortar and install the tiles.

Can you tile over fireplace tiles?

Though people do tile over tile, it's really not recommended. The underlying surface can make or break a tile installation. Preparing that surface is the most important step.
