These Low Calorie High Protein Tostadas are just 227 calories and have 11.8g of protein each!

I used 95% lean ground beef, but you can cut the calories even more by using ground turkey or chicken.

Special Tip: You can swap out the cheese for cheddar our skip it all together. This cheese is super salty and strong, so you don't need very much to get all the cheesy flavor.
