Cooking Steps
Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan-forced. Finely chop the garlic. Grate the carrot (unpeeled). Cut the capsicum into 1cm chunks. Drain the sweetcorn (see ingredients). Spread the mini flour tortillas over an oven tray lined with baking paper, then lightly spray (or brush) with olive oil. Using a fork, poke a few holes in the tortillas to stop them puffing up as they cook. Set aside.
In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over a medium-high heat. Cook the pork mince, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned, 4-5 minutes.
While the pork is cooking, place the tray with the tortillas in the oven and bake until golden and crisp, 8-10 minutes. TIP: Check on them and leave them in a little longer if they aren't ready. You want them to be golden and crisp, but not burnt!
While the tortillas are baking, add the garlic, carrot, capsicum and sweetcorn to the pork and stir through to combine. Cook until the garlic is fragrant, 1 minute.
SPICY! The spice blend is hot, use less if you're sensitive to heat. Add the Mexican Fiesta spice blend, tomato paste and water to the pan and stir to combine. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until the chilli has thickened and the veggies are tender, 4-5 minutes. Season to taste.
Roughly chop the coriander. Bring everything to the table to serve. Build your tostadas by placing a helping of the pork chilli on top of a tortilla. Top with some sour cream and shredded Cheddar cheese. Garnish with the coriander. TIP: In Mexican cuisine, tostadas are piled high with ingredients and eaten like an open sandwich. You can serve the crisp tostadas on the side of the toppings or eat them as tacos if you prefer!
