Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 5-ounce cans Canned tuna in water (drained)
- 0.25 cup Mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 2 tablespoons Celery (finely chopped)
- 2 tablespoons Red onion (finely chopped)
- 1 teaspoon Jalapeño (seeded and finely chopped)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh cilantro (chopped)
- 1 medium Avocado (sliced)
- 0.5 cup Cherry tomatoes (halved)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- Optional: Hot sauce (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Divide the shredded cheddar cheese into 4 even portions and place each portion in a circular mound on the prepared baking sheet, about 6 inches in diameter. Leave space between each mound.
Bake the cheese mounds for 8-10 minutes, or until they are golden and bubbly. Allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 3-5 minutes, then carefully lift each cheese round with a spatula and lay it over an inverted bowl or cup to create a tostada shell shape. Let the shells cool completely before use.
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the drained tuna, mayonnaise, lime juice, celery, red onion, jalapeño, cilantro, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until fully combined.
To assemble each keto tostada, place a cooled cheese shell on a plate. Spread a generous scoop of tuna salad over the shell.
Top the tuna salad with sliced avocado and halved cherry tomatoes. Drizzle with optional hot sauce, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your crispy, keto-friendly tostadas!
