Turkey and Bean Tostadas
Prep and Cook Time: 20 minutes
Yield: Makes 6 servings
Replacing iceberg lettuce with romaine lettuce is a wise decision since the darker green leaves of romaine are more nutritious.
Ingredients:
6
(8-inch) flour tortillas
1
pound 93% lean ground turkey
1
can (15 ounces) chili beans in chili sauce
1/2
teaspoon chili powder
3
cups washed and shredded romaine lettuce
1
large tomato, chopped
1/4
cup chopped fresh cilantro
1/4
cup (1 ounce) shredded reduced-fat Monterey Jack cheese
1/2
cup reduced-fat sour cream (optional)
Preparation:
1.
Preheat oven to 350°F. Place tortillas on baking sheets. Bake 7 minutes or until crisp. Place on individual plates.
2.
Heat large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add turkey. Cook and stir until turkey is browned; drain. Add beans and chili powder. Cook 5 minutes over medium heat. Divide turkey mixture evenly among tortillas. Top with remaining ingredients and sour cream, if desired.
