1 can Water-packed tuna; well drained (12 oz)
1½ teaspoon TABASCO pepper sauce
1 large Tomato; seeded and chopped
½ cup Chopped onion
½ cup Finely chopped cilantro
¼ cup Sour cream
2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
¾ teaspoon Salt; divided, or to taste
2 larges Ripe avocados; halved and pitted

In mixing bowl, combine tuna and 1 teaspoon TABASCO pepper sauce; mix well.

With a spoon, scoop the avocados into a medium bowl and mash them with a fork; add remaining salt or to taste. Add remaining ½ teaspoon TABASCO sauce, mixing well to blend. Set aside.

Preheat oven to 350øF. Spray tortillas lightly on both sides with vegetable cooking spray. Place in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake until crisp, approximately 10-12 minutes. Cool. To assemble, spread one rounded tablespoon of avocado mixture on each baked tortilla. Distribute ⅓ cup tuna mixture over avocado. Top each tortilla with crumbled cheese.

Note: Tuna mixture makes a delicious sandwich using avocado mixture as sandwich spread.
