Farmer’s Choice Spicy Fillet Tostadas

1. Preheat the oven to 385°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Remove the Farmer’s Choice Spicy Chicken Fillets from the packaging and arrange them in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
3. Bake for 15–20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the fillets are crispy and evenly golden on both sides.
4. While the fillets are baking, add the ketchup, brown sugar, jerk seasoning, vinegar, water, onion powder and garlic powder to a saucepan over medium heat.
5. Stir the sauce continuously until the ingredients are fully combined. Bring it to a gentle simmer and cook until it reduces slightly and develops a thick, glossy consistency.
6. Remove the crispy Farmer’s Choice Spicy Chicken Fillets from the oven. Generously brush each fillet with the jerk BBQ sauce, then flip and coat the other side.
7. Return the coated fillets to the oven and bake for an additional 10–15 minutes, allowing the sauce to caramelise onto the chicken.
8. Remove the fillets from the oven, allow them to rest briefly, then slice them into thin strips for assembling the tostadas.

1. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt in a bowl. Rub in the butter until the mixture resembles crumbs.
2. Gradually add the hot water, mixing carefully with a spoon or fork until a dough forms. Knead for approximately 5 minutes.
3. Divide the dough into 10–12 equal balls and allow them to rest for 30 minutes.
4. Roll each ball into a thin tortilla on a lightly floured surface. Lightly brush with oil and cook in a hot pan until bubbles form. Brush the top with oil, flip and cook until lightly golden.
5. To make the tostadas, heat 1–2 inches of oil in a pan over medium heat. Fry each tortilla on both sides until golden and crispy, then drain on paper towels.
