1/4 cup white onion, diced small

1/4 teaspoon chipotle powder

1/2 cup cilantro, finely chopped

juice of 1 lime about 3 tablespoons (more or less depending on how sweet the pineapple is)

1/8 sea salt

1 avocado

juice of a lime

1/2 cup sour cream (dairy-free if preferred or greek yogurt is good too)

1/8 teaspoon salt

1 white onion

2 garlic cloves, minced

1 pound ground turkey (or ground chicken, ground beef, or ground meat substitute)

1/2 teaspoon chipotle powder

1 teaspoon chili powder

1 teaspoon dried oregano (or 1 tablespoon fresh oregano, minced)

1/2 teaspoon cumin

3/4 teaspoon sea salt

1 tablespoon tomato paste

3 tablespoons water

shredded lettuce (or cabbage)

cojita or feta crumbles

cilantro

lime wedges

Directions

Make Tostada Shells:

Brush or spray both sides of corn tortillas with oil and bake o a sheet pan in the oven at 350 for 5 minutes then flip and bake 5-8 minutes more until crispy and lightly toasty.

Make the Salsa

Mix together the diced pineapple, onion, chipotle powder, cilantro, lime juice and salt. Set aside.

Make the Avocado Cream

Mash the avocado with lime juice, sour cream, and salt until smooth and creamy.

Cook the Meat

In a bowl mix together chipotle powder, chili powder, oregano, cumin, sea salt, and tomato paste. Add in the ground turkey mixing until just combined with the spices. Don’t over-mix as it can toughen the meat. Set this aside while you start sautéing the onions with avocado oil in a pan over medium heat for 5 minutes, add in the garlic and sauté for another minute. Add meat, spreading it out in clumps until it is brown on one side and then flip over to the other side. Break up with a metal spatula into crumbles and remove from heat when it is cooked though.
