Richard H. Turner, Director of Meatopia and Turner & George, has put his own spin on this delicious Mexican street food classic. Originally a way of using up stale tortillas (by frying them), this dish was so good that it wasn’t long before people started using fresh tortillas to make tostadas.Richard uses mozzarella on top which adds a nice twist to the dish and helps cool down the spiciness of his jalapeño sauce and zingy pico de gallo salsa.

Our 20 minute recipe
-
1.
Preheat your grill to medium-high. Mix 1/4 of the red onion in a bowl with the chopped tomato and the Pico de Gallo Mix. Put aside.
-
2.
Sprinkle the Tostada Seasoning over the chicken and toss to coat. Heat 1 tbsp of oil in a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat and then fry the chicken for 2 mins. Add the courgette, the rest of the red onion and the sweetcorn to the pan and continue to fry for 4-5 mins, or until the chicken is done and the veg has browned. Drizzle in the Jalapeño Sauce and stir well. (This sauce is spicy so put a little in first if necessary)
-
3.
Arrange the tortillas in a single layer on a baking sheet and put them under the grill for 3 mins to lightly brown them, then remove from under the grill. Spoon some of the chicken mixture onto the centre of each tortilla and then sprinkle some mozzarella cheese onto each tortilla. Put them back under the grill for 2 more mins, or until the cheese has melted.
-
4.
Sprinkle some of your tomato salsa over each Chicken Tostada and garnish with some coriander leaves (if using). Serve with some salad (if having) along with the rest of the tomato salsa.

Very quick and easy to make. The flavours were delicious. It has a bit of heat to, which is just how we like it, but if you’re not really into hot spices, I would add less of the jalapeño sauce. Or add a spoon natural yoghurt on the side to help cool it a little.

The pico de gallo was too strong, we just added a bit this time and it was delicious.
Antonia - Jun 06, 2018

Loved this! So tasty and fresh. I chucked in a chopper pepper and added sour cream and avocado at the end which was lovely!

Nice twist on fajitas, really enjoyed it
Dominique - Mar 27, 2018
Loved it! I also didn't use courgette, and I smashed up some avocado on the tortillas. Very nice!
kevin - Mar 20, 2018
Nice, we didn’t use courgette
Allison - Mar 01, 2018
Tasty but quite awkward to eat
Rebecca - Feb 27, 2018
Tasteless and too spicy
Diana - Feb 25, 2018
Yum! And the leftovers were even more tasty the next day
Deb - Feb 17, 2018
Tasty
Katherine - Feb 16, 2018
Yummy!
kevin - Feb 12, 2018
Yummy, half the jalapeño seems to be about right for a 12yr old
Katy - Jan 30, 2018
Probably wouldn’t get this one again. It was nice but a bit boring, probably because we have fajitas a lot and it was quite similar!
Ryan - Jan 23, 2018
Liked this one, did it with cheddar, used all the jalapeno sauce but didn't find it too spicy.
Jacqueline - Jan 22, 2018
Juice from the vegetables made the bread soggy. Disappointing
Jane - Dec 31, 2017
Very disappointing. Just didn't have any zing, even with all of the sauce. I agree with a previous review that it would be better with cheddar but even so will be unlikely to order again.
kevin - Dec 27, 2017
Great, used less jalapeño sauce to lower the heat
Katherine - Dec 18, 2017
Delish!
Karin - Dec 11, 2017
Very nice quite spicy
Ema - Nov 24, 2017
Spices are wonderful and just the right amount of heat
kevin - Nov 20, 2017
Very nice, opted to leave out the jalapeño as it was going to be too spicy for our son. It was nice anyway, plenty of guacamole added to this dish
Kelly - Nov 10, 2017
Amazing just the right amount of spice x
kevin - Nov 08, 2017
Quite yummy, I tried substituting flat bread (I had in the cupboard) but it made it a little too heavy, didn't use much of the hot sauce . Agree with another comment that something creamy would add to this dish, we used a little mayonnasie but guacomole would be excellent. Much liked by the 12yr old
Annie - Nov 05, 2017
Very good, didn't use too much of the hot sauce. But very tasty.
Rachel - Nov 04, 2017
Really tasty, could have done with something creamy to go with it like a guacamole or some type of soured cream
Robyn - Oct 19, 2017
Although we enjoyed it, we agreed it would be better with cheddar cheese. Also, medium grill was much too high to warm the tortillas and I burned the first batch!
kaylegh - Oct 17, 2017
Yum!
