📝 Instructions

11 steps

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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