These Mini Tuna Tostadas are a fun and fresh appetizer, bursting with bold flavors. A crispy base of fried tortillas is topped with a zesty tuna pineapple salsa that’s packed with sweetness, heat, and savory goodness.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 5 small tortillas (corn or flour)
  • Fry oil (enough for deep frying)
  • 1 tbsp Tajin seasoning
  • Flaky sea salt, to taste
  • 1 avocado, diced
  • 1/3 cup pineapple, diced
  • 1 tbsp jalapeño, finely diced
  • 1/2 lime, juiced
  • Handful of chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 fresh tuna filet (about 4–6 oz), finely diced
  • 1 tsp wasabi sauce
  • 1 tbsp sweet chili sauce
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • Sesame seeds, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Use a round biscuit cutter or glass to cut small circles from each tortilla (should yield about 20 rounds).
  2. Heat oil in a skillet to 325°F (or until a tortilla piece bubbles when added).
  3. Fry tortilla rounds in small batches for 2–3 minutes per side, until golden and crisp.
  4. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Immediately season with flaky sea salt and Tajin.
  5. In a mixing bowl, combine diced avocado, pineapple, jalapeño, and cilantro.
  6. Add the lime juice, diced tuna, wasabi sauce, sweet chili sauce, sesame oil, and soy sauce.
  7. Gently stir until well combined.
  8. Spoon the tuna pineapple salsa onto each fried tortilla round.
  9. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and a fresh squeeze of lime, if desired.
  10. Serve immediately for the crispiest texture.

Notes

  • For extra crunch, you can bake the tortilla rounds at 400°F for 8–10 minutes instead of frying.
  • Swap pineapple for mango or papaya for a tropical twist.
  • Canned tuna can be used in a pinch, but fresh is best for flavor and texture.
