📝 Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 small onion (finely diced)
• 3 tablespoons minced garlic
• 2 pounds ground turkey
• 3 tablespoons taco seasoning
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1/4 cup marinara sauce
• 3/4 cup water
• 14 ounce refried beans ((1 can))
• 20 tostadas shells
• 1 1/2 cup Mexican cheese
• 2 cups shredded lettuce
• 6 to 10 tablespoons sour cream
• 2 roma tomatoes (diced)
• 1/4 cup diced red onions
• 2 avocados
• lime wedges
• cilantro

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Heat a tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground turkey and cook until 50% browned. Making sure to break up the turkey with your wooden spoon as you cook it.
2. 2Add the diced onion and minced garlic and continue to cook for a minute.
3. 3Add the seasoning, marinara sauce, and water to the skillet.
4. 4Stir until combined and lower the heat to medium-low. Let the meat simmer for up to 10 minutes or until the sauce has cooked down to your desired sauciness. You don’t want the meat to be too wet but keeping it saucy will prevent the turkey from drying out.
5. 5Meanwhile, reheat the refried beans in a pot or in the microwave as instructed on the can.
6. 6Place the tostada shells on a sheet pan and spread the warmed refried beans on them.
7. 7Spoon the cooked turkey meat on top of the refried beans and top with cheese.
8. 8Broil the ground turkey tostadas for 2 to 3 minutes, keeping a close eye on them, or until the cheese has melted and the shells are your desired crispiness.
9. 9Repeat with the rest of the ingredients. Top the finished tostadas with your favorite toppings and enjoy!
