Ingredients
Scale
12 corn tortillas
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 cups cooked brisket, shredded
1/2 cup beef broth
1/4 cup chopped red onion
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 avocado, sliced
1/4 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon lime juice
1/4 teaspoon chili powder
Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Brush both sides of the corn tortillas lightly with vegetable oil. Place tortillas on a baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes, flipping once, until crispy and golden.
While tortillas are baking, heat the shredded brisket and beef broth in a small saucepan over medium heat until warmed through.
In a small bowl, combine sour cream, lime juice, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well to create the lime crema.
To assemble the tostadas, spread a layer of the warmed brisket mixture over each crispy tortilla.
Top with chopped red onion, fresh cilantro, and sliced avocado.
Drizzle with the lime crema before serving.
Notes
For extra spice, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the brisket mixture.
You can also add crumbled cheese, such as cotija or queso fresco, for more flavor.
These tostadas are best served immediately to maintain their crispiness.
