Leftover roast meat makes a glorious tostada topping. Combined with your favourite Mexican-inspired ingredients, just 150g is enough meat for about six tostadas, to serve as a snack for six or a huge feast for two. Tostadas are also a great way to give old tortillas new life.
Chicken tinga is a classic Mexican dish usually made from shredded chicken spiced with smoky chipotle chillies in a rich, tomato sauce. I always keep a stash of chipotle chillies in the larder, but if you don’t have any, hot smoked paprika is a good substitute, especially for getting that smokiness, though any chilli will do, really.
