Rachel's Quick N' Crispy Ground Turkey Tostadas

Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • 8 small sprouted corn tortillas
  • avocado or olive oil cooking spray
  • 1 1/2 lbs ground turkey
  • 3 fresh garlic cloves minced
  • 2 Tbsps homemade taco seasoning plus extra for tortillas
  • 2 Tbsps tomato paste
  • 1/2 cup crushed tomatoes with juices
  • Topping ideas:
  • 1/2 a head green cabbage chopped
  • pickled red onion
  • ripe avocado chopped or sliced
  • fresh cilantro leaves
  • fresh lime or lemon wedges

Instructions

  • Prepare your toppings. Chop your cabbage and very lightly toss it with some vinegar and sea salt. Set aside.
  • Preheat your oven to 400 degrees f. and line a large sheet pan with parchment paper.
  • Place the corn tortillas on your prepared baking sheet and lightly spritz or brush with your oil.
  • Very very lightly sprinkle them with some of your extra taco seasoning.
  • Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until nice and crispy, flipping halfway through. I like to very lightly squeeze fresh lime on the crispy hot tortillas. Optional but adds a nice touch.
  • Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Add in your ground meat and cook, mincing it with a wooden spoon constantly.
  • Once the meat is no longer pink, stir in the garlic and 2 Tablespoons homemade taco seasonings.
  • Cook for 1 minute more, then add the tomato paste and crushed tomatoes.
  • Cook, stirring frequently for about 3 more minutes to combine the flavors.
  • To assemble your tostadas, add a big spoonful of your taco meat over a crispy tortilla.
  • Top with all your toppings of choice, a bit of everything as desired.
  • Repeat with the remaining tostadas.
