Let food be fun!

  On my grocery list for last week were ingredients to make turkey tacos.  After making them I still had a lot of leftovers, so to prevent meal boredom I recreated my turkey tacos into baked tostadas, and they were super yummy!  Here's how I did it.....
   
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
Place your tortillas on the baking sheet, brush with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt, black pepper, cumin, and chili powder.
Bake for approx. 5 mins. or until crisp, and golden brown.
Once cool, spread on guacamole, layer on top the seasoned ground turkey, iceberg lettuce, and garnish with salsa.
 Baked Tostada

Baked and seasoned flour tortilla with guacamole, taco seasoned ground turkey, iceberg lettuce, and homemade tomato-serrano salsa.

Mexican kitchen must have's...
    To always have on hand - Tortillas or tortilla chips, mexican spices (cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, oregano, black pepper, salt), fresh garlic.
     Ingredients to pick up - Meat (mine being ground turkey but can be anything you want), tomatoes, onion, avocado, limes, cilantro, peppers (depending on heat preferences you can choose anything from a bell pepper to a habenero)
