Categories: Mexican

Ingredients

  • 8 tostadas
  • 1 tsp chile-lime seasoning
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 carrot, grated on the large holes of a box grater
  • 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • Kosher salt and black pepper
  • 1 lb. ground turkey
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 2 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 2/3 cup sour cream
  • Shredded lettuce, diced tomato, chopped avocado, and shredded cheddar, for topping

Directions

  1. eheat the oven to 350. Lay the tostadas on a rimmed baking sheet and bake until toasted, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle with the chile-lime seasoning while still warm; set aside.

  2. Heat the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the carrot, garlic and a pinch each of salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the carrot is lightly browned, about 3 minutes.

  3. Add the turkey and cook, breaking it up into small pieces with a wooden spoon, until no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Clear a space in the middle of the skillet and add the tomato paste, chili powder, and cumin. Cook the paste mixture, stirring until a shade darker, about 30 seconds, then stir the mixture into the turkey. Cook until well coated, about 1 more minute. Add 1/4 cup water and cook until saucy, about 1 minute. Remove from the heat and season with salt and pepper.

  4. Spread the sour cream on the tostadas, then add the turkey. Top with lettuce, tomato, avocado and cheese.
