Description
Crunchy Low Calorie Tostadas with Savory Ground Turkey Bliss
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
- 1 medium Yellow Onion
- 1 pound 99% Lean Ground Turkey
- 1 packet Taco Seasoning
- 1/2 cup Water
- 8 units Tostada Shells
- 2 cups Shredded Lettuce
- 1 cup Diced Tomatoes
- 1 cup Shredded Mexican Cheese Blend
- Optional Toppings (Salsa, Greek yogurt, or jalapeños)
Instructions
- Heat the Oil: Begin by heating the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté the yellow onion until it becomes translucent, which should take about 3-4 minutes.
- Cook the Turkey: Add the 99% lean ground turkey to the skillet, breaking it apart. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add Seasoning: Stir in taco seasoning and water, mix well, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 2-3 minutes.
- Assemble the Tostadas: Arrange tostada shells on a platter, distribute turkey mixture over each shell, top with lettuce, tomatoes, and cheese.
Notes
- Substitute olive oil with avocado oil for a similar flavor.
- Red onion can be used for a sharper taste.
- Homemade seasoning can control sodium levels.
- Chicken broth can be used instead of water for added flavor.
- Corn tortillas can be baked for a lighter texture.
- Spinach can be used instead of lettuce.
- Pico de gallo can be used instead of diced tomatoes.
- Low-fat cheese or nutritional yeast can be used for dairy-free options.
