• 3/4 teaspoons salt

• 1/2 teaspoons finely chopped chipotle pepper

• 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice

How to make Mexican Tuna Tostadas

Heat oven to 177°C. Cut 2 rounds from each tortilla with a 3-inch biscuit cutter. Brush both sides of tortillas with 1 tablespoon of oil and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoons of salt. Place rounds in 1 layer on biscuit sheets; bake until crisp and edges are golden, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from oven. Whisk chipotle, remaining 2 tablespoons oil, lime juice, tequila, adobo sauce, cumin, sugar and remaining 1/4 teaspoons salt in a bowl. Place tuna, avocado, 2/3 of spring onions and 2 tablespoons of pumpkin seeds in another bowl. Pour dressing over top and gently stir to coat, trying not to break up avocado. Spoon tuna mixture onto tortilla rounds. Top with remaining 1 tablespoon pumpkin seeds and remaining 1/3 of spring onions.
