Method

Prepare Tostadas

  1. 1

    Fry the Tortillas

    In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the blue corn tortillas one at a time, frying for about 1-2 minutes on each side until they are crispy and golden brown. Remove from the skillet and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.

Make Tuna Filling

  1. 2

    Combine Ingredients

    In a medium bowl, drain the canned tuna and flake it with a fork. Add finely chopped red onion, chopped cilantro, lime juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly combined.

Prepare Chipotle Mayo

  1. 3

    Mix the Sauce

    In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, finely chopped chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, garlic powder, and lime juice. Mix until smooth and well blended.

Assemble Tostadas

  1. 4

    Build Your Tostadas

    On each crispy blue corn tostada, spread a generous layer of chipotle mayo. Top with a portion of the tuna filling. Garnish with sliced avocado, radishes, and a lime wedge on the side.
