Turkey and White bean Tostadas

I just whipped these up from what I had around the house. The filling would also be good over rice, in a tortilla, or on chips as a dip.

6-8 corn tortillas
1 lb cooked turkey taco meat (mine is a 50/50 mix with lean ground beef)
1 can White Beans
1 can Rotel
1 white onion
3 garlic cloves
1 tsp Cumin
1/2 Tbsp Cliantro or freshly cut would be even better
1 cup low fat cheese
1 avocado diced
Shredded lettuce
low fat sour cream
Optional
1 Can Chipotle in adobo I used 1 pepper chopped and it was good hot, but probably too hot for milder tastes. Just use a little of the sauce to give it that smoky flavor.

Toast the Tortillas in the oven for about 7 mins each side until crispy and light brown.

Chop onion and garlic and put in pan with a little olive oil. Cook unitl soft. Then add rotel and spices and Chipotle if you are using it.

Open the beans and pour into a bowl. In a blender or by hand mix beans. Add to pan along with the precooked meat.

Mix all together and let simmer for 5 mins then add the cheese and turn off the stove. Let the beans set up as they cool a little so they aren't too runny.

Then spread on the Tostada and top with lettuce, avacado, and Sour Cream. Serve and enjoy!!!
