Ingredients
- 4 pieces Tostada shells
- 2 cans (5 oz each) Canned tuna (in water)
- 1 large Avocado
- 1 large Lime
- 0.25 cup (finely diced) Red onion
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) Fresh cilantro
- 1 small (finely diced, optional) Jalapeño
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup (quartered) Cherry tomatoes
- 1 cup Shredded lettuce

Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, drain the canned tuna and break it apart with a fork.
Add the finely diced red onion, chopped cilantro, and optional diced jalapeño to the tuna.
Squeeze the juice of one lime into the mixture, then add 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly to combine.
In a separate small bowl, mash the avocado with a fork until smooth. Add a pinch of salt and an additional squeeze of lime juice to taste.
Preheat a dry skillet over medium heat. Warm the tostada shells for 1-2 minutes per side to make them crispy, then set aside.
Assemble the tostadas by spreading a layer of mashed avocado on each shell.
Add a generous spoonful of the prepared tuna mixture on top of the avocado layer.
Top the tuna with shredded lettuce and a few cherry tomato quarters.
Finish with a drizzle of hot sauce if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your dairy-free tuna tostadas!
