- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 medium Yellow onion, finely diced
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin

Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes, until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, until fragrant.
Add the ground turkey to the skillet and cook, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, until no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.
Season the turkey with chili powder, ground cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to coat the meat evenly.
Add the tomato paste and chicken broth to the skillet, stirring to combine. Let the mixture simmer for 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened.
Warm the tostada shells in the oven according to the package instructions or heat them briefly on a dry skillet over low heat.
Assemble the tostadas by spreading a layer of the cooked turkey mixture onto each shell.
Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheddar cheese, and a dollop of sour cream.
Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Tex Mex Turkey Tostadas!
