Turkey Toastadas

The recipe that follows is a Superfood powerhouse! Combine it with our made from scratch guacamole!

Shredded Turkey Ingredients:

• Corn tortillas fried in olive oil until brown and crispy
• 1.5 pounds Turkey breast (we weren't able to find turkey, so we used chicken)
• 1/3 cup lime juice
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 3 garlic cloves smashed and chopped
• Salt and pepper to taste

Refried Bean Ingredients:

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1/4 white onion diced
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 4 garlic cloves minced
• 1 can pinto beans mashed with liquid
• Salt and pepper to taste

Shredded Turkey Method:

• Place turkey breast in a large stock pot, add water to cover
• Boil for 2 hours
• Remove the turkey and place on a cutting board
• Shredd the turkey with a fork
• Place the shredded turkey in a mixing bowl with the lime juice, garlic, salt, pepper, and olive oil
• Mix well and allow to marinade for at least 1 hour at room tempurature (it will last several days in the fridge if you want to prepare the meat in advance)
• Heat a thick pan (cast iron works great) to high tempurature and seer the turkey until its brown all over and slightly charred in others.

Refried Beans Method:

• Heat the olive oil in a large fry pan on medium
• Add the onion and cumin and cook until light brown
• Add the garlic for a few more minutes
• Add the mashed beans and cook until the mixture is brown
• Add the salt and pepper

Tostadas are great because they can be served a la carte with a variety of toppings. We chose to keep it simple with just the beans and guacamole, but the sky is the limit. Try offering your guests or family fresh salsa, chopped lettuce, monterey jack cheese, or diced jalepenos as toppings.
