Steps

1. Step 1

   Drain and rinse the beans, shred the cheese, and measure the remaining ingredients. Dice the tomato and onion and shred the lettuce, if using. Mix the sour cream, 1 tbsp lime juice, and ⅛ tsp salt in a small bowl for the dip.

   12 min

   • 1 can black beans (15 oz)
   • 4 oz Monterey Jack cheese
   • ¾ cup sour cream
   • 1 tbsp lime juice
   • ⅛ tsp fine salt
   • 1 medium tomato
   • ¼ medium onion
   • 1 cup lettuce
2. Step 2

   Heat the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the turkey. Press into an even layer and leave undisturbed for 2 minutes to brown. Break into small crumbles and cook for another 4–5 minutes, until no pink remains and the turkey reaches 165°F.

   7 min

   • 1 lb lean ground turkey (93% lean)
   • 2 tsp olive oil
3. Step 3

   Reduce the heat to medium-low. Stir in the taco seasoning for 30 seconds. Add the beans and water. Scrape up any browned bits and stir for 2 minutes, until the beans are hot and the water has mostly evaporated. Take off the heat, stir in 1 tbsp lime juice, and taste; adjust with a little additional salt or lime if needed. Cover to keep warm.

   3 min

   • 1 can black beans (15 oz)
   • ½ cup Ortega mild taco seasoning
   • ½ cup water
   • 1 tbsp lime juice
4. Step 4

   Poke holes across each tortilla with a fork. Set the air fryer to 350°F and preheat if your model requires it. Place one tortilla flat in the basket; use an air-fryer-compatible rack if needed to keep it from blowing toward the heating element. Air fry for 3–5 minutes, checking after 3 minutes, until crisp and lightly golden. Repeat for 4 batches total, about 16 minutes of air frying plus 2 minutes for handling and any preheating. Transfer each crisp tortilla to a plate.

   18 min · 350°F

   • 4 Mission Carb Balance tortillas
5. Step 5

   Divide the turkey-bean filling among the 4 crisp tortillas. Serve with the lime-sour cream dip and optional tomato, cheese, onion, and lettuce on the side so everyone can top their own tostada. Serve immediately.

   4 min

   • 4 oz Monterey Jack cheese
   • 1 medium tomato
   • ¼ medium onion
   • 1 cup lettuce
