Ingredients
- 1 can (15 oz) canned chickpeas
- 2 tablespoons vegan mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons red onion, finely diced
- 2 tablespoons celery, finely diced
- 2 tablespoons dill pickles, finely diced
- 1 sheet nori sheet, finely crumbled
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 shells corn tostada shells
- 1 avocado avocado, sliced
- 0.5 cup red cabbage, shredded
- 2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped
- 1 tablespoon hot sauce (optional)
- 4 wedges lime wedges
Directions
Step 1
Drain and rinse the canned chickpeas thoroughly. Transfer them to a large mixing bowl.
Step 2
Use a fork or potato masher to mash the chickpeas until mostly smooth, leaving a few chunks for texture.
Step 3
Add the vegan mayonnaise, red onion, celery, dill pickles, crumbled nori sheet, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper to the mashed chickpeas.
Step 4
Mix everything together until well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Set the 'tuna' mixture aside.
Step 5
Preheat your oven or stovetop to warm the tostada shells for about 2-3 minutes, until they are crisp. Avoid over-toasting as this can make them brittle.
Step 6
To assemble, spread a generous layer of the vegan 'tuna' mixture onto each tostada shell.
Step 7
Top with sliced avocado, shredded red cabbage, and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro.
Step 8
Drizzle with hot sauce if desired, and serve with a lime wedge on the side for squeezing over the top.
Step 9
Enjoy your Vegan Tuna Tostadas immediately while the shells are crisp!
