SALPICON (MEXICAN SHREDDED BEEF)

8 lbs. top sirloin or eye of round (well trimmed chuck works equally
well)
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 bay leaf
1 (12 oz.) can tomatoes
1/4 c. chopped fresh cilantro
Salt and pepper to taste
1 (8 oz.) bottle Italian style salad dressing
1 c. cooked garbanzo beans
1/2 lb. Monterey Jack, cut into 1/2 inch squares
1 c. chopped green chilies (fresh or canned)
2 avocados, in strips
1 bunch parsley

Place beef in heavy pot; cover with water and add garlic, bay leaf,
tomatoes, cilantro, salt and pepper. Cook over medium heat about 5
hours, or until meat pulls apart. Remove meat from broth, cool and
cut into 2 inch squares. Shred with two forks or in processor with
short pulses. (At this point, the meat can be used for burritos or
other recipes calling for shredded beef. Also, may be frozen up to 3
months.) Arrange beef in a 9 x 11 inch glass dish. cover with
salad dressing and allow to marinate in refrigerator overnight.
Before serving, arrange the following in layers over beef: beans,
cheese, chilies, and avocados. Decorate with parsley. This is a
perfect dish for a buffet table.
