Time 2h40m

Yield 6 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

One 2-pound boneless beef brisket
1 large white onion, quartered
Kosher salt
3/4 cup olive oil
6 tablespoons distilled white vinegar
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
1/4 cup minced red onion
2 tablespoons dried crumbled Mexican oregano
Freshly ground black pepper
1 cup seeded chopped cucumber (from 1/2 English or hothouse cucumber)
1 cup seeded chopped tomatoes (from 2 tomatoes)
1/2 cup capers, drained
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
4 radishes, finely chopped
12 corn tortillas
2 avocados, halved, pitted, peeled and sliced, for serving

Steps:

  • Put the brisket in a large pot and fill with enough water to cover the meat by an inch. Add the onion quarters and 1/4 cup salt. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer partially covered until the brisket is very tender, 2 1/2 hours. Add more water if needed to keep the meat covered. Turn off the heat and let the brisket cool in the cooking liquid to room temperature. Drain the brisket, discard the water and cool completely.
  • Meanwhile, prepare the vinaigrette by whisking the olive oil and vinegar in a medium bowl until well combined. Add the lime juice, red onion and oregano and whisk again. Season the vinaigrette with salt and pepper.
  • Shred the brisket into a large bowl. Add the cucumbers, tomatoes, capers, cilantro and radishes and toss to combine. Add the vinaigrette and toss to coat. Season with additional salt and pepper if needed.
  • To make the grilled tostadas: Heat a grill pan on the stovetop over medium-high heat. Place a corn tortilla onto the hot pan until the tortilla is crisp with a slight char. Cook for about 5 minutes each side. Scoop the shredded beef salad onto the grilled tostada and garnish with some avocado slices.

Number Of Ingredients 26

2 teaspoons chipotle chili powder, or to taste
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon dried Mexican oregano
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon ground coriander
½ teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon salt, or to taste
½ teaspoon ground black pepper, or to taste
1 (2 pound) boneless beef chuck roast
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
½ cup chopped onion
1 ½ teaspoons minced fresh garlic
1 cup beef stock
1 ½ cups chopped tomatoes, divided
1 medium orange, juiced
½ medium lime, juiced
6 each crispy tostada shells
2 cups refried beans, warmed
2 cups shredded lettuce
1 ½ cups shredded Cheddar cheese
3 tablespoons salsa, or to taste
3 tablespoons sour cream, or to taste
3 tablespoons guacamole, or to taste
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
6 wedges lime

Steps:

  • Prepare spice rub: Combine chili powder, paprika, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, coriander, cumin, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
  • Rub 1 tablespoon of the spice rub on each side of the chuck roast. Set remaining spice rub aside for later.
  • Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Place seasoned roast in the hot oil and brown for 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove to a plate and keep warm.
  • Cook onions in the same skillet, stirring frequently, until they begin to turn clear, 2 to 3 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in beef stock, 1/2 cup chopped tomato, orange juice, lime juice, and remaining spice rub.
  • Return the roast back to the skillet and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer gently until meat is tender and cooked through, about 2 hours. Remove meat from the skillet and transfer to a cutting board.
  • Carefully pour the skillet contents into a blender or food processor. Pulse several times, until sauce is smooth.
  • Remove the visible fat from the meat and discard. Shred the meat with two forks. Place shredded beef back into the skillet with about 3/4 cup of the pureed tomato sauce. Add more, if desired, to adjust the consistency. Refrigerate any unused tomato sauce in a sealed container for another use, if desired.
  • To assemble tostadas, spread about 1/3 cup refried beans on each tostada shell. Top with layers of shredded beef mixture, lettuce, Cheddar cheese, and reserved chopped tomatoes. Drizzle with salsa and add a dollop of sour cream and guacamole. Garnish with cilantro and serve with lime wedges.

TOSTADAS DE SALPICON (SHREDDED BEEF)



Tostadas de Salpicon (Shredded Beef) image

Tostadas are a common dinner at our home. I fry my own corn tortillas since I think they taste so much better than store bought. I also fry my own pinto beans in bacon drippings. But for ease and convenience store bought will do. We top our tostadas with shredded lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, sour cream, and salsa.
