Description
Crunchy, vibrant, and packed with zesty flavor, Healthy Tuna Tostadas offer a sophisticated twist on a classic Mexican favorite. This dish is light and revitalizing, pairing high-quality tuna with bold textures and fresh ingredients for an indulgent yet nutritious meal.
Ingredients
3 cans (5oz each) High-quality canned tuna (solid white)
8 units Corn tortillas (organic preferred)
As needed Red onion, jalapeño, cilantro, avocado
3 large limes Fresh lime juice and zest
2 tbsp Avocado Oil
1 tsp Honey
Sea salt, cracked black pepper, cumin to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly brush both sides of each corn tortilla with Avocado Oil. Place them in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake for 4-5 minutes per side until they are golden brown and completely crisp
- Drain the liquid from your canned tuna thoroughly and place it in a bowl, flaking it into small pieces
- Finely dice the red onion, jalapeño, and cilantro. Add these to the bowl with the tuna
- In a small jar, whisk together fresh lime juice, lime zest, honey, pinch of cumin, sea salt, and black pepper. Pour this over the tuna mixture and fold gently to combine
- Mash avocados with a splash of lime juice and a pinch of salt until smooth
- Spread mashed avocado onto each crispy tortilla. Top with a mounded portion of the tuna mixture
- Garnish with a sprig of cilantro, a slice of radish, or a drizzle of hot sauce
Notes
Always zest your limes before juicing them for a better flavor.
Ensure tortillas are completely cooled before adding toppings to avoid sogginess.
Using a 'brunoise' cut for veggies enhances presentation and balance of flavors.
