Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 1 yellow onion (medium, diced)
- 2 clove garlic (minced)
- 1 package taco seasoning (1 ounce)
- 1 can black beans (15 ounce, rinsed and drained)
- 0.5 cup water
- 10 corn tostada shells
- 2 cup shredded lettuce
- 1 cup salsa
- 0.5 cup cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro (chopped)
Instructions
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground turkey and diced yellow onion. Cook, breaking up the turkey with a spoon, until browned and the onion is softened, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
- Stir in the minced garlic and taco seasoning. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Add the rinsed and drained black beans and 1/2 cup of water. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken slightly.
- While the turkey mixture simmers, warm the corn tostada shells according to package directions, if desired. Prepare your toppings: shredded lettuce, salsa, shredded cheddar cheese, and sour cream.
- To serve, spread some of the turkey and bean mixture onto each tostada shell. Top with shredded lettuce, salsa, shredded cheddar cheese, and a dollop of sour cream. Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro, if using, and serve immediately.
Notes
Tostadas can be easily customized with your favorite toppings like sliced avocado or pickled jalapeños.
