    Ground Turkey Tostadas

    May 28, 2019 / by Laney Schwartz / 2 Comments(updated Jan 20, 2020)

    Simple and delicious Ground Turkey Tostadas are the perfect DIY lunch or dinner that everybody loves!

    Ground Turkey Tostadas

    The best part about these Ground Turkey Tostadas is that they were 100% inspired by my sister. And the best part about THAT is, she’s been terrified of cooking until very recently. Over the last six months she has mastered several Life is but a Dish recipes and made them her own. Guys, that’s LITERALLY why I do what I do.

    My ultimate goal is to inspire people to cook, and give them the confidence they need to actually get in the kitchen. So you can imagine how excited I was when she had enough confidence to make her own creation!

    MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!

    Ground Turkey Tostadas

    She kept making it for her friends and family, and OMG it looked SO good I had to have the recipe. The best part? It’s super easy. Super delicious. And super versatile. My kind of recipe!

    Ground Turkey Tostadas

    Do I have to use ground turkey?

    Nope. You all know how much I love ground turkey. But if you prefer ground beef or chicken, go for it! In this recipe I use my simple Ground Turkey Meat w/ Homemade Seasoning recipe. It’s perfect for this!

    Then simply top with your favorite toppings and devour!

    Simple and delicious Ground Turkey Tostadas are the perfect DIY lunch or dinner that everybody loves!

    • 6 tostada shells (can also make your own by crisping up your favorite tortilla)
    • 1 can refried beans
    • 1 recipe my ground taco meat ((see notes below for link))
    • shredded lettuce
    • chopped tomatoes
    • 1 avocado, sliced
    • shredded Mexican blend cheese
    • salsa and/or hot sauce
    1. Heat up your refried beans. I like to do this in a pan quickly, but you can also use the microwave. Then spread a thick layer on your tostada shell. Top with ground turkey, lettuce, tomatoes, avocado, cheese and salsa or hot sauce! The beauty of these is you can add as little or as much of each ingredient that you like! Dig in and enjoy!
