Ingredients

• 1 lb Ground turkey
• 8 pieces Small corn tortillas
• 3 tbsp Olive oil
• 1 medium, diced Onion
• 2 minced Garlic cloves
• 1 tsp Chili powder
• 1 tsp Cumin
• 1 tsp Paprika
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.25 tsp Black pepper
• 1 cup Refried beans
• 2 cups Shredded lettuce
• 1 cup Diced tomato
• 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.5 cup Sour cream
• 1 tbsp Lime juice
• 2 tbsp (chopped) Fresh cilantro leaves
• 1 small Sliced jalapeño (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Place the corn tortillas on a baking sheet and brush both sides with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Bake for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway, until crispy and golden. Remove and set aside.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the ground turkey to the skillet. Cook for 6-7 minutes, breaking it up with a spoon, until fully cooked and browned.

Step 6

Season the ground turkey with chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine and cook for another 2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Remove from heat.

Step 7

In a small saucepan, heat the refried beans over low heat until warmed through. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

Step 8

To prepare the lime crema, mix the sour cream and lime juice in a small bowl. Set aside.

Step 9

Assemble the tostadas: Spread a layer of warmed refried beans on each crispy tortilla. Top with a generous scoop of the seasoned ground turkey.

Step 10

Add shredded lettuce, diced tomato, shredded cheddar cheese, and sliced jalapeño (if using) on top of the turkey.

Step 11

Drizzle with the prepared lime crema and garnish with chopped fresh cilantro.

Step 12

Serve immediately and enjoy your Crispy Turkey Tostadas!
