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)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) to warm the tostadas if desired, or simply use them at room temperature.

Step 2

Drain the canned tuna and transfer it to a mixing bowl.

Step 3

Add the plain Greek yogurt, the juice of half a lime, salt, and black pepper to the tuna. Mix well until evenly combined.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Prepare the toppings: finely dice the red onion, quarter the cherry tomatoes, chop the cilantro, and finely dice the jalapeño if using.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Assemble each tostada: spread a layer of mashed avocado on the base, followed by a generous portion of the tuna mixture.

Step 8

Top with diced red onion, quartered cherry tomatoes, chopped cilantro, and diced jalapeño (if using).

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy your High Protein Tuna Tostadas!
