I thought these tostadas were just average. They weren't bad, but they weren't anything special either.

These tostadas were pretty good, but I think I would have liked them better with a different type of salsa.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my tostadas were a complete disaster. The turkey was tough and the toppings were soggy.

I found this recipe to be too complicated. I ended up skipping a few steps and the tostadas still turned out fine.

These tostadas were just okay. The turkey was a little dry and the toppings were bland.
