Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground turkey
• 8 pieces Tostada shells
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon Chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Cumin
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 cup Diced tomatoes (canned)
• 1 cup Black beans, rinsed and drained
• 1.5 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded
• 2 cups Lettuce, shredded
• 0.5 cup Sour cream
• 1 large Avocado, diced
• 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped
• 4 pieces Lime wedges (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.

Step 2

Once the oil is hot, add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 3 minutes.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 additional minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the ground turkey to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spoon. Cook until browned and fully cooked, about 6-8 minutes.

Step 5

Stir in the chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to coat the turkey in the spices.

Step 6

Add the diced tomatoes and black beans to the skillet. Stir to combine and simmer for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 7

While the turkey mixture is simmering, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Arrange the tostada shells on a baking sheet and bake for 3-5 minutes to warm them up and make them extra crispy.

Step 8

To assemble the tostadas, place a generous spoonful of the turkey mixture onto each tostada shell.

Step 9

Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the turkey mixture, letting it melt slightly from the heat.

Step 10

Top each tostada with shredded lettuce, a dollop of sour cream, diced avocado, and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.

Step 11

Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of flavor.
