America's Zesty Best Professional Food Competition
On June 17, more than 750 products competed in the America's Zesty Best competition in Orange County, CA. The competition is held during the America's Zesty Best Food Show, a spicy and hot food show produced by Jazz Foods. Big Acres Chipotle Peanut Sauce won 2nd place in the Condiment/Dressing category! Big Acres Sauces now has 6 product and website awards! Read our press release for more information.
People often ask us how they should use the Chipotle Peanut Sauce. We say "put it on everything"! Brush it on your grilled chicken, pork, beef, tofu, veggies. Dip your meat or veggies. Use it as a salad dressing over mixed greens with Mandarin oranges and crushed nuts. Dip your teriyaki chicken skewers into warmed peanut sauce. We have loads of recipes to guide you on our Mouth-Watering Recipes page, and you might want to try the recipe below.

Summer's Mouth-Watering Recipe
Melanie loves this recipe and is serving it as an appetizer on the 4th! The salad can be made ahead of time and then tossed in the sauce just before serving.
Spicy Chipotle Peanut Chicken Tostadas
Serves 6
12 yellow corn tortillas or your favorite store-bought tostada shells
Peanut oil
2 medium tomatoes, seeded and diced
3/4 cup green onions, sliced
1/2 cup fresh pineapple, diced
2 cups Napa cabbage, shredded
1 cup jicama, shredded
1/2 cup red peppers, julienned
1 bottle Big Acres Chipotle Peanut Sauce
1.5 lbs grilled chicken, cut into strips
1 cup crumbled queso fresco or mild feta
1/4 cup chopped roasted peanuts
Lightly fry tortillas in peanut oil and drain on paper towels. Set aside. (Note: Store-bought tostada shells are already fried.) In small bowl, mix 1/2 tomatoes, 1/2 green onions, pineapple, cabbage, jicama and red peppers. Toss with 1/2 bottle of peanut sauce and set aside. Place warm chicken in large bowl and toss with remaining peanut sauce. Divide vegetable and fruit mixture evenly and place on tortillas. Place chicken on top of vegetables and fruit. Sprinkle remaining ingredients in the following order: tomatoes, onions, cheese, peanuts and serve immediately.
Variation: Use mini corn tostada shells to create tasty appetizers!
Enjoy!
Happy 4th of July and happy cooking!
