Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Corn tostadas
- 2 cans (5 oz each) Canned tuna in water
- 1 whole Avocado
- 2 tablespoons Plain Greek yogurt (non-fat)
- 1 whole Lime
- 0.25 cup (finely diced) Red onion
- 0.5 cup (quartered) Cherry tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) Cilantro
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 whole (finely diced) Jalapeño (optional)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) to warm the tostadas if desired, or simply use them at room temperature.
Drain the canned tuna and transfer it to a mixing bowl.
Add the plain Greek yogurt, the juice of half a lime, salt, and black pepper to the tuna. Mix well until evenly combined.
Slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a separate bowl. Mash with a fork until smooth. Squeeze in the juice of the remaining half of the lime and mix to prevent browning.
Prepare the toppings: finely dice the red onion, quarter the cherry tomatoes, chop the cilantro, and finely dice the jalapeño if using.
If warming tostadas, place them on a baking sheet and bake in the oven for 3-5 minutes or until crisp and warm. Remove and let cool slightly.
Assemble each tostada: spread a layer of mashed avocado on the base, followed by a generous portion of the tuna mixture.
Top with diced red onion, quartered cherry tomatoes, chopped cilantro, and diced jalapeño (if using).
Serve immediately and enjoy your High Protein Tuna Tostadas!
