TURKEY TOSTADAS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350˚ F. Lay the tostadas on a rimmed baking sheet and bake until toasted, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle with the chile-lime seasoning while still warm; set aside.
• Heat the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the carrot, garlic and a pinch each of salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the carrot is lightly browned, about 3 minutes.
• Add the turkey and cook, breaking it up into small pieces with a wooden spoon, until no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Clear a space in the middle of the skillet and add the tomato paste, chili powder and cumin. Cook the paste mixture, stirring, until a shade darker, about 30 seconds, then stir the mixture into the turkey. Cook until well coated, about 1 more minute. Add 1/4 cup water and cook until saucy, about 1 minute. Remove from the heat and season with salt and pepper.
• Spread the sour cream on the tostadas, then add the turkey. Top with lettuce, tomato, avocado and cheese.
