Sometimes you just need a no-brainer kind of idea to make for dinner. Are you familiar with how to make tostadas? My Mom used to make these all the time for me and my siblings. Sometimes she made them with flour tortillas, and sometimes she used corn tortillas. The great thing about making turkey tostadas is that each person can customize their tostada to put whatever they want on top. That’s great for a house with picky eaters!
How to make Turkey Taco Meat:
The full, printable recipe is at the end of this post.
Ingredients needed:
vegetable or canola oil onion garlic lean ground turkey chili powder, cumin and coriander tomato paste water salt
Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet. Add the onion and garlic and crumble in the turkey. Stir-fry over moderate heat until the turkey is no longer pink, about 6 minutes. Mix in the chili powder, cumin, coriander, tomato paste, water and salt. Bring to a simmer and keep warm.
Toppings for Turkey Tostadas:
The toppings for turkey tostadas can be chosen entirely according to your preference. I recommend starting with refried beans and topping them with lettuce, cheese, tomato, olives, guacamole, sour cream and salsa.
I like to go all out and put everything on top. It’s a great meal because you’re getting a protein (turkey taco meat), carbs (beans and tortillas) and veggies all in one meal.
If you are a guacamole lover, add guacamole to your turkey tostadas too. It’s so yummy! Enjoy.
