●●●●●●●●●●●To make salsa: In small bowl, stir tomatoes,
avocado, corn, jalapeños, onion and lime juice. Set aside.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
To make tostadas: Line baking sheet with aluminum foil. Lightly
spray foil with nonstick cooking spray. Place tortillas on baking
sheet. Lightly spray tortillas with nonstick cooking spray. Using
fork, pierce tortillas several times to prevent from filling with
air. Bake tortillas 5-6 minutes on each side, or until golden
brown. In medium nonstick saucepan over medium-high heat,
cook turkey, chili powder, cumin and coriander 5-6 minutes, or
until turkey is no longer pink, stirring occasionally to turn and
break up turkey. Add beans and water. Cook 5 minutes, or until
beans are heated through. Using potato masher, coarsely mash
beans. Remove from heat. To assemble tostadas, spread turkey
mixture over each tortilla. Top with salsa. Serves 4.
