Tostadas de Salpicon (Shredded Beef)

  4.3 – 2 reviews  • Tostada Recipes

We frequently eat tostadas for dinner in our house. Since I believe homemade corn tortillas to be so much better than store-bought, I fried them myself. Additionally, I cook my own pinto beans in bacon grease. But for ease and convenience store bought will do. Shredded lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, sour cream, and salsa are the garnishes we use on our tostadas.

This family says they want it every day. I make it very Tuesday. The remaining pot liquor is too good to throw away so I am trying to think of a recipe to use it in. Any suggestions?

This was my first attempt at Mexican shredded beef. We thought it was ok. Maybe a little too much citrus and vinegar flavor for our liking. That being said, I may use this as starting point for later attempts.
