Tostadas de Salpicon (Shredded Beef) Recipe
Tostadas de Salpicon (Shredded Beef) represent common dinners at home using fried corn tortillas that taste significantly better than store-bought alternatives through authentic preparation. This traditional recipe showcases genuine Mexican cooking techniques while emphasizing the superior flavor of homemade fried tortillas. The authentic approach ensures cultural accuracy.
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.
