TOSTADAS DE SALPICON (SHREDDED BEEF)
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.

SALPICON - MEXICAN SHREDDED BEEF SALAD
This is my recipe for Salpicon. Traditionally it is served on top of tostadas. This is great recipe for get-togethers as it feed a very large crowd. The more you let it sit, once it is finished; the better it tastes. Enjoy! NOTE: The measurements for the olive oil, vinegar, olives and oregano are approximations. I always eyeball. Sorry! Just adjust as you go along. Also, for the chiles use as many as you like. If you like things mild, use 1 or 2. If you like it spicy use 4 or 5; which is what I use most of the time. Make sure the chiles are the pickled kind not fresh, it won't work with fresh chiles.
