Ingredients

Method

1
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and warm each flour tortilla for about 30 seconds per side until lightly golden and pliable, then transfer to a plate.
2
In a saucepan, combine the refried beans, chili powder, and ground cumin over medium heat, stirring frequently until warmed through.
3 minutes
3
Warm the diced cooked turkey in a separate skillet over medium heat, seasoning lightly if desired, then set aside.
4
Spread approximately 3 tablespoons of the spiced refried bean mixture onto each warmed tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges.
5
Layer about ½ cup of warm turkey onto the bean-topped tortillas, distributing evenly across the surface.
6
Sprinkle approximately 2 tablespoons of shredded cheddar or jack cheese over the turkey on each tostada.
7
Top each tostada with a portion of the chopped tomatoes and chopped green onions, dividing both evenly among the eight tostadas.
8
Serve the tostadas immediately while the beans and turkey are still warm and the cheese is soft.
