Tuna Tostadas: an Easy Dinner Idea
This is not your regular tostada. This is a piled-high chip-full of perfection. Fish tostadas are something I’ve made a lot over the years and it is always a crowd pleaser. And it’s sooo easy… it’s basically nachos. This one has feta cheese and seared tuna with a drizzle of Cholula. Recipe below:
Makes four:
- About half a can of refried beans heated and stirred with a couple tablespoons of water
- Four tostada shells
- Half a white onion, chopped finely
- Two small tuna steaks
- Four oz crumbled feta cheese
- A few sprigs of thyme
- One small avocado, sliced
Spread the beans onto the tostada shells. Sprinkle the onions and feta on top. Add the sliced avocado. Sear your tuna in a separate pan with butter, salt and pepper, about 2 minutes on each side (according to instructions for your particular fish). While the tuna is searing, place the pan of tostadas in the broiler until they are warm and the cheese gets melty. Slice the tuna thinly and place on top of the rest of the ingredients. Add a sprinkle of thyme leaves (cilantro would be good here too) and drizzle with Cholula.

I am a mom of two and wife to a martial arts school owner, full-time social media professional and avid cook and gardener. I love creating recipes and involving my kids in the process. The food we cook is usually dairy-free and gluten-free, and sometimes paleo, but we make exceptions (ahem, sourdough bread). The “hippie” part of this blog comes into play in the ingredients we use—I’m pretty vigilant about the health of my family and you could even call me “crunchy.” The “modern” part is that I am busy! You won’t catch me making my own nut milk or churning butter (not that there’s anything wrong with that). I’m more than happy to take the shortcuts provided by our lovely grocery stores and online shopping —especially in the midst of this global pandemic.
