What is a Tostada?

A tostada is a Mexican dish in which toppings are layered on a crunchy, crispy tortilla!

These tortillas can be flat or bowl shaped and personally I think the higher the stack, the better!

Loaded Taco Salad Tostadas

If taco salad and tostadas had a baby, it would be these! Loaded up with all your favorite fixings from a taco salad in crunchy layers between tostada shells.

I love taking a short cut and grabbing any Southwest Salad salad mix at the store. You know the one that comes with toppings and a dressing? YUP! That's my secret. You'll also need...

  • tostada shells
  • ground turkey
  • taco seasoning
  • Southwest salad mix
  • kidney beans
  • salt and pepper
  • shredded cheddar cheese
  • salsa or sour cream (optional)

How To Make Tostadas

If you want to make your own tostadas, you'll want to take small corn tortillas and pan fry them on either side with oil until nice and crispy!

However, I find it just as easy to grab a bag of pre-made tostadas at the store. They make for great and unique dinner ideas.

Simply layer these tostada shells with your desired toppings (for this recipe we are using delicious taco salad toppings) and enjoy!

Southwest Salad Mix

My semi-homemade secret ingredient to these delicious taco salad tostadas recipe is the premade Southwest Salad mix.

You know those pre-mixed salads? They eliminate the chopping and waste (because who honestly uses a whole thing of lettuce that you buy?).

It comes with a southwest dressing, that compliments these taco salads so nicely!

What To Serve With Tostadas?

A delicious dip would be incredible served along side these Turkey Taco Salad Tostadas.

Skinny Fiesta Corn Dip or Garden Veggie Salsa are perfect compliments to this 20-minute dinner.

And if you enjoy these tostadas, check out my other delicious recipes like Mexican Skillet Meatballs, Roasted Corn and Quinoa Salad, and Creamy Chicken Sheetpan Nachos!
