These Low Calorie High Protein Tostadas are just 227 calories and have 11.8g of protein!. I made these healthy tostadas with lean ground beef, but you could use ground turkey, chicken, bison or beyond meat to make them.

These low calorie tostadas make a great quick dinner for busy weeknights! I like to make the meat ahead of time, and then all I have to do is reheat and serve on really hectic school/work nights.

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.
