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.

Categories     Chicken     Bake

Number Of Ingredients 11

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

Steps:

  • To poach chicken breasts, place boneless, skinless chicken breasts in a medium skillet or saucepan. Add lightly salted water to cover and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer gently until chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the middle, 10 to 12 minutes. Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven; preheat to 375 degrees F. 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 chicken mixture, lettuce, and cheese.

Tips:

  • Choose the right tortillas: Corn tortillas are the traditional choice for tostadas, but you can also use flour tortillas. If you're using corn tortillas, be sure to fry them until they're crispy.
  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better your tostadas will taste. Look for fresh, ripe tomatoes, onions, and cilantro. Use a good quality cheese that melts well, such as cheddar or Monterey Jack.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When you're frying the tortillas, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
  • Be careful not to overcook the tortillas: Once the tortillas are golden brown and crispy, remove them from the pan immediately. Overcooked tortillas will be tough and chewy.
  • Assemble the tostadas just before serving: This will prevent the tortillas from getting soggy.
  • Serve the tostadas with your favorite toppings: Some popular toppings include shredded chicken, beef, or fish; refried beans; guacamole; sour cream; and salsa.

Conclusion:

Crispy turkey tostadas are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They're perfect for a quick lunch or dinner, or as an appetizer at a party. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make crispy turkey tostadas that will be sure to impress your friends and family.
