- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- ½ tsp garlic powder (or small clove, puréed) (see tip)

Pizza
- 2 cups seasoned flour

- ½ cup tomato sauce [spreadable, not runny]

Method
Chicken mix
Mix the cumin, mustard powder, vegetable oil, sugar, chili powder, salt, and pepper together well in a big bowl, then add the chicken breasts and stir gently to coat each piece.
Arrange the chicken breasts in a baking dish and bake
for 1 hour at 180°C.
Pull the cooked meat apart and fork through to make a
loose mix.
Tortilla tower
Add the rasher, spring onion, red onion, and barbecue sauce and mix
well.
Lay one tortilla in the bottom of a 10"
loose-bottom baking tin, and sprinkle with half the cheese.
Add the chicken mix on top and spread out, then
top with the rest of the cheese and the other tortilla.
Cover with a circle of baking parchment, set a
heavy weight like a cast-iron casserole on top and put in the
fridge for an hour to chill.
Dip
Make the dip by mixing the cream, onions powder, chive, parsley, mayonnaise, garlic powder, lemon juices, dill, and salt in a bowl.
Pizza
Unmould the tortilla tower and cut into six wedges.
Dredge each wedge in the flour then the
egg and then the breadcrumbs in that
order, coating it carefully each time.
Deep-fry the wedges in the vegetable oil until golden
all over.
Reassemble the wedges back into cake form, leaving a small
space between them.
Coat the top of each wedge with the tomato sauce,
sprinkle with the mozzarella, and decorate with the pepperoni.
Grill for five minutes or until the pepperoni is golden
and the mozzarella is melting.
