Mini Chicken Tostadas
There are so many Mexican things we can’t get here in Australia. Mexican cheeses – like Cotija. Chipotle was really only introduced here a few years ago, and even today you have to go to speciality stores to get it. (Though I do note that Harris Farms has Chipotle in Adobo which is my current flavour obsession!). We don’t even have canned green chilies here! At least, not the type to use in Mexican dishes. Amongst the lengthy list of Mexican produce we can’t get here is tostadas. Which, actually, is probably a good thing because I have a lack of self control around deep fried crunchy goodness. So I make my own tostadas, usually by baking tortillas. I know it’s not 100% authentic, but it’s easier than deep frying and you still get that yummy crunchy base to pile high with Mexican goodness. 🙂 These little babies are mini tostadas which I adore making when I’m doing a Mexican spread. They are really practical for entertaining because you can prepare everything in advance then it’s very quick to assemble to serve.
The tostadas cups are made by cutting rounds out of tortillas. I use an empty 400g/14oz can because I don’t have round cutters. The can is a perfect size to make shallow cups. 😉 You could of course use a round cutter! These are filled with shredded chicken dressed with mayonnaise and jazzed up with plenty of jalapeños for a good kick and a squeeze of lime. Very simple to make. They are incredibly moorish, and you do need to be careful not to eat too many because they are quite filling! Don’t hold back on the jalapeños! These are all about the fiery kick! And don’t forget the tequila shooters!! 🙂 – Nagi
