Author Jessica Ivey, RDN

Ingredients

  • 8 (6-inch) corn tortillas
  • 1 lb. 93% lean ground turkey
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup prepared guacamole
  • 2 cups shredded romaine lettuce
  • 1 cup shredded 2% reduced fat Cheddar or taco blend cheese
  • 1 cup refrigerated salsa

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400ºF. Place tortillas on a baking sheet, and coat both sides lightly with cooking spray. Arrange in a single layer. 

  2. Bake for 4 to 5 minutes on each side or until crispy and golden brown. (They will continue to crisp as they cool.)

  3. Meanwhile, cook turkey, onion and garlic in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until turkey is browned, about 6 minutes. Stir in chili powder, cumin, salt, oregano, paprika, red pepper flakes, black pepper, and ¼ cup water. Simmer until water is evaporated. 

  4. Spread 2 tablespoons guacamole over each tostada shell; top evenly with turkey. Top each tostada with ¼ cup lettuce, 2 tablespoons cheese, and 2 tablespoons salsa. Serve immediately.
