Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350˚ F. Lay the tostadas on a rimmed baking sheet and bake until toasted, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle with the chile-lime seasoning while still warm; set aside.
- Heat the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the carrot, garlic and a pinch each of salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the carrot is lightly browned, about 3 minutes.
- Add the turkey and cook, breaking it up into small pieces with a wooden spoon, until no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Clear a space in the middle of the skillet and add the tomato paste, chili powder and cumin. Cook the paste mixture, stirring, until a shade darker, about 30 seconds, then stir the mixture into the turkey. Cook until well coated, about 1 more minute. Add 1/4 cup water and cook until saucy, about 1 minute. Remove from the heat and season with salt and pepper.
- Spread the sour cream on the tostadas, then add the turkey. Top with lettuce, tomato, avocado and cheese.
CRISPY TURKEY TOSTADAS
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.

- For the cornbread: Use a good quality cornmeal for the best flavor and texture. If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to regular milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
- For the tostadas: Use a sturdy corn tortilla that won't break when you top it with the turkey and cornbread mixture. You can also use a flour tortilla if you prefer.
- For the toppings: Get creative with your toppings! Some popular options include salsa, guacamole, sour cream, shredded cheese, and diced tomatoes.
