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.

These tostadas were a disappointment. The beef was dry and the toppings were tasteless.

I wasn't a big fan of these tostadas. The beef was tough and the toppings were bland.

The tostadas were good, but I found the beef to be a little bland. I think I'll add some more seasoning next time.

The tostadas were easy to make and very tasty. I would recommend using a higher quality beef, as the flavor of the beef really shines through in this dish.

I followed the recipe exactly and the tostadas turned out great! The beef was a little dry, but the toppings helped to balance it out.
