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
• 0 Optional: Hot sauce (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

To assemble each keto tostada, place a cooled cheese shell on a plate. Spread a generous scoop of tuna salad over the shell.

Step 6

Top the tuna salad with sliced avocado and halved cherry tomatoes. Drizzle with optional hot sauce, if desired.

Step 7

Serve immediately and enjoy your crispy, keto-friendly tostadas!
