¼ cup Mexican crema
2 limes
¼ teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided

Categories     main-dish

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 medium onion, thinly sliced
3 cups shredded cooked turkey or chicken (12 ounces; see Tip)
8 corn tortillas
Canola or olive oil cooking spray
1 avocado, pitted
1/4 cup prepared salsa
2 tablespoons reduced-fat sour cream
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1 cup shredded romaine lettuce
1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
1 14-ounce can petite diced tomatoes, preferably with jalapenos

Steps:

  • Shredded leftover turkey tops homemade tostadas in this Tex-Mex favorite. Making your own tostada shells from fresh corn tortillas is easier than you might think-crisp them up in the oven while you prepare the toppings. Choose either regular petite diced tomatoes or those with added jalapenos, depending on your inclination for spicy food. Serve with black beans, rice and extra salsa or hot sauce on the side.;
  • Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven; preheat to 375degreesF. Bring tomatoes and their juice to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is soft and most of the liquid has evaporated, 15 to 20 minutes. Add turkey (or chicken) and cook until heated through, 1 to 2 minutes. Meanwhile, coat tortillas on both sides with cooking spray. Divide the tortillas between 2 large baking sheets. Bake, turning once, until crisped and lightly brown, about 10 minutes. Mash avocado in a bowl. Stir in salsa, sour cream and cilantro until combined. To assemble tostadas, spread each crisped tortilla with some of the avocado mixture. Top with the turkey (or chicken) mixture, lettuce and cheese.
