  • 1/2 small white onion sliced thin
  • 1/2 cup nopalitos chopped small
  • 4 radishes sliced
  • 2 chipotles in adobo minced

  • 1 large avocado sliced
  • 3 to 4 cups of torn or chopped lettuce
  • Crumbled queso fresco optional

Instructions

Directions

  • In a bowl, combine all of the ingredients, minus the avocado, lettuce and queso(if using). Toss well to combine. Adjust the seasonings, lime and vinegar to taste. Cover tightly and let chill for at least one hour.
  • When ready to serve, stir well and garnish with sliced avocado and queso. Serve on corn tostadas with a layer of fresh lettuce, then salpicon garnished with avocado.

Notes

This recipe can be prepared with previously cooked shredded chicken, pork and even flaked white fish. For a quicker cooked brisket, season and sear then transfer to the pressure cooker. Once it comes under high pressure, reduce heat and set timer for 45 minutes. When safe to open, remove brisket and shred while it's still warm.
