Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cans Canned tuna (in water or olive oil, drained)
- 4 pieces Coconut flour tortillas
- 1 large Avocado
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice (freshly squeezed)
- 0.25 cup Red onion (finely diced)
- 0.25 cup Cilantro (chopped)
- 0.5 cup Cherry tomatoes (halved)
- 0.5 cup Cucumber (diced)
- 1 small Jalapeño (seeded and finely chopped, optional)
- 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Place the coconut flour tortillas on a baking sheet and brush both sides lightly with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Bake for 4–5 minutes, flipping halfway, until crisp and golden brown. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool.
In a mixing bowl, combine the drained tuna, red onion, cilantro, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and jalapeño (if using). Drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil and lime juice. Sprinkle with garlic powder, paprika, sea salt, and black pepper. Gently mix until all ingredients are well combined.
Halve and pit the avocado. Scoop out the flesh into a small bowl and mash it with a fork until smooth. Spread a thin layer of mashed avocado on each crispy coconut flour tortilla as a base.
Spoon the tuna mixture generously on top of each avocado-covered tortilla, dividing it evenly among the four tostadas.
Garnish with additional cilantro or a squeeze of lime, if desired, and serve immediately. Enjoy your crispy, flavorful Paleo Tuna Tostadas!
