A tostada contains a blend of flavors and nutrients in the toppings that sit on a thin, crispy bread-like layer. For this tostada, I’ve made some healthy replacements to reduce the fat:
- Lean turkey instead of beef
- Whole black or pinto beans instead of refried beans
- Cabbage instead of iceberg lettuce
- Greek yogurt instead of sour cream
- Flatbread instead of fried corn tortilla
There’s still lots of flavor and fiber, and the fat is significantly less.
