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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Spoon the tuna mixture generously on top of each avocado-covered tortilla, dividing it evenly among the four tostadas.

Step 6

Garnish with additional cilantro or a squeeze of lime, if desired, and serve immediately. Enjoy your crispy, flavorful Paleo Tuna Tostadas!
