For the Tostadas

Tips & Variations

Store-bought tostadas are life-savers because you get to cut some corners and still have a delightful crunch.

  • Swap the protein. Using ground beef, chicken, or pork instead of turkey are great variations of this dish.
  • Use fresh tortillas. Head to a Mexican grocery store and buy freshly-made flour tortillas for an extra authentic dinner.
  • Add veggies. Stir in 1 cup corn, diced carrots, or peas into the filling to make it heartier.
  • One at a time. To prevent the rest of your tostadas from softening before you’ve finished the first one, only add toppings to the one you’re eating. Once you’re done, add them to the next tostada and so on.
  • Make it saucy. Pour in 1 cup of your favorite red or green salsa and mix it into the filling until slightly absorbed.
  • Use store-bought. Skip the broiling and use store-bought tostadas instead. They’re usually by the Mexican section in most grocery stores. Swap the shredded cheese for c،bled queso fresco and you won’t have to worry about melting anything.
  • Go easy on the turkey. Don’t load each tostada with tons of turkey-bean mixture. The more you add, the more easily the tostadas will break or soften as you enjoy them.
  • Add heat. Finely c،p up jalapeños or serrano chilis for a kick of heat. Add them as toppings or mix them into the filling.

What to Serve with Tostadas

This turkey tostadas recipe is a great dinner option for Mexican or Tex-Mex weeknights. Serve them on their own or with similarly smokey dishes like my Enchilada Soup or Pozole Rojo. If you love warm bowls of chili, you’ve got to try my Mexican Street Corn White Chicken Chili. For veggie options, pair them with Mexican Quinoa Salad or Avocado Corn Salad.

Proper Storage

Any tostadas recipe is best the day its made because the tortillas are ultra crispy.

  • Fridge: Don’t store ،embled tostadas because the tortillas will soften too much. Refrigerate the turkey filling in an airtight container for up to 5 days. The tortillas will last for up to 10 days.
  • To reheat it: Microwave the turkey filling in 30-second intervals until warm. Assemble and broil the tostadas before serving.
