Cooking steps

1

Preheat the oven to 400°F and bake the corn tortillas for 6–8 minutes on each side until perfectly golden and crisp.
2

In a large pot, simmer the beef brisket, covered with water and a generous pinch of salt, over medium-low heat for 50–60 minutes until fork-tender. Let cool slightly, then shred with forks.
3

Slice the radishes thinly, shred the romaine lettuce, dice tomatoes, finely chop the onion, cilantro, and jalapeño. Slice the avocado just before serving.
4

In a bowl, make the vinaigrette: whisk together lime juice, olive oil, red wine vinegar, salt, pepper, and oregano until fully emulsified.
5

Toss the shredded beef with radishes, lettuce, tomato, onion, cilantro, and jalapeño. Drizzle with vinaigrette and combine well.
6

Top each crisp tortilla with a mound of the beef salad mixture. Garnish with avocado slices and serve immediately.

Personalized Q&A

Q. What's the key ingredient in this recipe?

The key ingredient is tender, shredded beef brisket, which provides the savory flavor and protein-rich base of salpicón. It's tossed with fresh vegetables and lime vinaigrette, but the beef's texture and richness are what make this tostada stand out.

Q. How do I achieve perfect crispy tortillas for tostadas?

For guaranteed crispy tostadas, bake the corn tortillas at 400°F and flip halfway through. Make sure to let them cool on a rack—this avoids trapped steam, keeping each tortilla perfectly crisp and sturdy for toppings.

Q. What's the best way to avoid dry or tough shredded beef?

Simmer the brisket gently over medium-low heat until just fork-tender, roughly 50–60 minutes. Avoid boiling or overcooking, as this can dry out the meat. Always let the beef rest before shredding so it stays moist in the final salad.

Q. How many calories and macronutrients are in one serving?

Each serving (160g) provides about 270 kcal, with 22g carbohydrates (33%), 20g protein (30%), and 10g fat (37%). This makes it a balanced, high-protein, and lighter appetizer suitable for nutritious eating.
