Turkey and Vegetable Tostadas

Tonight's dinner was Turkey and Vegetable Tostadas. I have been wanting to try this recipe for awhile.

In short, you simply brown the turkey, drain it, add tomatoes, zucchini, water and taco seasoning and simmer.

The tostada part was simple as well: spray the tortilla with cooking spray, sprinkle it with taco seasoning, and bake it a bit.

I added cheese and a tiny bit of my favorite parmesan ranch from Trader Joe's. Oh - and fresh cilantro. That's right, I garnish my own plate. Ha.

Here are the results:


Pros:
- It was tasty, though the taco seasoning on the tortilla was a little much
- A good way to sneak in tomatoes and zucchini, which are not my favorite foods
- Very filling
- Quick and easy, I cut up the ingredients while chatting with T-Mobile tech support

Cons:
- The tortilla itself did not have much taste, and the edges were too done while the center was not quite done enough
- A lot of leftovers which I am certain no one will eat.

Overall grade: C+

I would make it again, with some modifications, but not often.


Tomorrow: Chicken Strips with Roasted Red Potatoes

OMG I would never in a million years eat this but I do love the pictures and the fact that you eat zucchini - WEIRDO.
