These Tuna Tostadas are the copy-cat version of one my favorite dishes from Entremar, an outstanding seafood restaurant in Mexico City. I make these when I am missing home and am craving something quick, light, and delicious. To make these a bit healthier, I use the airfryer to fry the leek that goes on top of the tostadas. Fresh and bursting with flavor, these crispy tostadas take less than 15 minutes to make and are the perfect meal when you are looking for a quick lunch that will bring a smile to your face.

Instructions
Step 1
Rinse the leek and cut it so that you only have the white part of the leek (see picture above). Cut the white part of the leek in long thin slices. Place the leek in the airfryer and sprinkle with salt, garlic powder, and pepper. Air-fry for 7 minutes at a temperature of 330˚F. Check and move continuously so that the leek does not burn.
Step 2
In a bowl, place the 2 tbsp of orange juice with the 2 tbsp of lime juice and the 4 tbsp of soy sauce to make the marinade. Mix all the ingredients together and add the thinly sliced tuna. Let the tuna sit in the marinade for 5 minutes. The lime juice essentially “cooks” the fish and makes it safe to eat. You will see the fish turn a lighter color. If you would like to leave the fish in the marinade longer, feel free to do so, but I wouldn’t recommend marinating for more than 15 mins.
Step 3
To make the chipotle sauce, place 1oz of fat-free Greek yogurt along with the chipotle and 1/2 a lime in a bowl. Mix the ingredients together.
Step 4
And voila, you are done. Now it is time to assemble the tostadas. Keep in mind that each serving makes 3 tostadas. Spread the chipotle sauce on top of all of the tostadas. Split the “cooked tuna” amongst the tostadas. Add sliced avocado and the air-fried leek. Enjoy!
