Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese
- 1 can Canned tuna (in water, drained)
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 2 tablespoons Diced red onion
- 1 cup Diced cucumber
- 1 cup Diced tomato
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chopped cilantro
- 1 medium Avocado
- 1 teaspoon Hot sauce (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place 1/4 cup mounds of shredded cheddar cheese onto the baking sheet, spacing them a few inches apart. Flatten each mound slightly with the back of a spoon to create a circular shape.
Bake the cheese for 7-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden and crisp. Remove from the oven and allow the cheese rounds to cool for 2-3 minutes; they will harden into crisp tostada shells as they cool.
While the cheese shells are baking, prepare the tuna salad. In a medium bowl, combine the drained tuna, mayonnaise, lime juice, diced red onion, salt, black pepper, and chopped cilantro. Mix well to combine.
Dice the cucumber, tomato, and avocado into bite-sized pieces and set them aside for topping.
Once the cheese shells are cool enough to handle, carefully lift them off the parchment paper and transfer them to a serving plate.
Top each cheese tostada shell with a generous spoonful of tuna salad, followed by diced cucumber, tomato, and avocado.
Drizzle optional hot sauce over the tostadas for a spicy kick, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your low carb tuna tostadas!
