This past weekend we were travelling, and while we got home earlier on Sunday, it still usually makes for a long Monday. So, knowing that I would be tired and probably still feeling the guilt of all the desserts I ate over the weekend, I decided it was a good night to try something new for dinner, ground turkey tostadas. So, after a good run, I made ground turkey tostadas, and they were so yummy and just what I needed to make my Monday better!
This ground turkey tostadas recipe is an excellent light way to get your Mexican fix without too many calories! Of course, these also would be great to pair with a skinny margarita, but that was not necessary after the fun we had this weekend!
