1

Into the bowl goes our tuna.

2

Add a little bit of mayo, not too creamy because you're going to get that from the avocado.

3

Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and mash it in the skin with a lemon and a little sprinkle of salt.

4

Put the mashed avocado right on top of the tostada shell.

5

Top with the tuna mixture and any additional veggies you want.
