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)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Dice the cucumber, tomato, and avocado into bite-sized pieces and set them aside for topping.

Step 6

Once the cheese shells are cool enough to handle, carefully lift them off the parchment paper and transfer them to a serving plate.

Step 7

Top each cheese tostada shell with a generous spoonful of tuna salad, followed by diced cucumber, tomato, and avocado.

Step 8

Drizzle optional hot sauce over the tostadas for a spicy kick, if desired.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy your low carb tuna tostadas!
