Spicy Mexican Style Tuna Salad Tostadas

I love tostadas.  Well, Mexican food in general.  I like that crispy corn tortilla topped with anything I want.  And they are a perfect magic carpet ride for a quick lunch.  While camping this past weekend I wanted a super speedy lunch.

Heaping spicy tuna salad

 

I remembered one of my husband's favorite lunches.  Nacho cheese Doritos topped with a salad of tuna canned in oil, canned peas, and fresh diced tomatoes, onions and jalapeños.  I kept tuna canned in water and a can of tomatoes with chiles in my camping canned goods supplies.  I had a can of peas too, but I thought frozen woud taste better.  But I forgot to buy some-boo.  But this quick lunch turned out delicious all the same.  I may add the frozen peas next time for bite.

I had some of the leftover tuna salad on a green salad today.  It was delicious-so delicious I forgot to snap a photo.  Not me!

I chopped up 5 leaves of romaine and topped it with a steamed and diced small red potato, a handful of cherry tomatoes and a serving of the tuna salad.  It was my own spicy version of a tuna nicoise.

Let me know what you think!
