Instructions: In mixing bowl, combine tuna and 1 teaspoon Tabasco pepper sauce; mix well. Add tomato, onion, cilantro, sour cream, lime juice and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Toss well to blend. Cover and chill.

With a spoon, scoop the avocados into a medium bowl and mash them with a fork; add remaining salt or to taste. Add remaining 1/2 teaspoon Tabasco sauce, mixing well to blend. Set aside.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Spray tortillas lightly on both sides with vegetable cooking spray. Place in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake until crisp, approximately 10 to 12 minutes. Cool.

To assemble, spread one rounded tablespoon of avocado mixture on each baked tortilla. Distribute 1/3 cup tuna mixture over avocado. Top each tortilla with crumbled cheese.

This recipe yields 8 servings.

Comments: Store bought tostada shells may be substituted fpr the tortillas.

The tuna mixture makes a delicious sandwich using avocado mixture as sandwich spread.
