As a busy mom, I love leftovers. Heat up and serve. Or, cut the next meal’s cooking time in half, and dinner is ready. One of my favorite dishes to make whenever I have leftover roast: Salpicón de Res. Since it’s cold, you can even make this ahead of time. Love that!

Cooked Shredded Beef in a bowl

You don’t need a lot of the leftover roast for this recipe. About 4 cups or so. This is a chuck roast, but you can use any cut of beef.

Pickled white onions in a bowl

My worry is to be at a party and have that raw onion breath. YUCK! These pickled onions do not have that raw onion taste and are soooo good! They are the same Mexican Pickled Onions that we use on Cochinita Pibil except I’m using a white onion. Again, this is something you can do ahead of time.

ingredients for Lime Vinaigrette

The vinaigrette is tangy but yummy. I’m using both white vinegar and lime, but you could use one or the other, depending on your taste.

Vinaigrette for Salpicon de Res

Make the lime-vinegar vinaigrette and set aside until ready to use.

Ingredients for Salpicon de Res

Combine all the ingredients. Then place your Salpicón de Res in the refrigerator until ready to use. Do you see why this recipe is great for parties? I love food that involves little time in the kitchen when you have guests over and want to mingle.

Top your crunchy tostadas with a few tablespoons of the Salpicón de Res, avocado sices, cilantro, and salsa. It’s a delicious recipe that moms, potlucks attendees, and party-goers will love.

    How funny, my mom used to make us Salpicón the ave or salpicón de atún and she was convinced it was a Spanish dish. Whatever! I love this Mexican version with beef and I’ll definitely try it!
