Well luckily her book had not been released yet, or one might think I stole her idea! I turned on Oprah last night to see Jessica Seinfeld is out with a new cook book (this one appears to have less pureeing, blending, and overall work in general) and one of her recipes was an easy Tostada for kids! Jessica, great minds think alike! So here is another variation on the quick, healthy tostada for dinner. We have served this in our house for a long time, and it NEVER fails!
Jessica Seinfeld's take on the Tostada
Ingredients
- 3 Tbsp. olive oil
- 1 small red onion , chopped
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 1 can (14.5 ounces) crushed tomatoes
- 2 tsp. chili powder
- 1/2 tsp. kosher salt
- 1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
- 1 can (15.5 ounces) pinto beans , rinsed
- 8 corn tortillas
- Salsa and lettuce and avocado and cheddar cheese and sour cream for serving
Directions
Meanwhile, pour 2 tablespoons of oil on to a sheet pan and coat the tortillas. Bake, flipping the tortillas halfway through, until crisp, 8 to 10 minutes.
Stir the tomatoes, chili powder, salt and pepper into the skillet and simmer, about 3 minutes. Make a well in the middle of the turkey mixture. Add the beans and mash with the back of a spoon. Continue to cook, stirring, until heated through.
Top the warm tortillas with the turkey mixture and add salsa, lettuce, avocado, cheddar cheese and sour cream to taste.
