Easy Low-Carb Guacamole Tostadas

Ingredients

• 4 fajita-size low-carb flour tortillas, toasted
• 2 tsp. olive oil, for brushing baking sheet
• About 1 cup thinly sliced lettuce
• 1/2 cup finely grated cheese, more or less to taste
• 2 avocados
• 4 tsp. fresh-squeezed lime juice
• 1/2 tsp. Green Tabasco Sauce or other hot sauce
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• Pinch of chili powder

Directions

1. Heat your oven or toaster oven to 450F/230C, then brush olive oil over a baking sheet. Arrange the tortillas on the pan and toast them until they’re firm with a little browning, about 5 minutes. Flip them a couple of times as they toast, and keep an eye on them because they can move from golden to burned fast. Set the tortillas aside for a few minutes to cool.
2. Cut the avocado in half, remove the seed, and discard it. Scoop the avocado flesh into a small bowl, add the lime juice right away, and mash and stir until the lime is worked evenly through the avocado to help prevent browning.
3. Stir in Green Tabasco Sauce (or other hot sauce), salt, and chili powder. Use a light hand with the chili powder, since too much can make the guacamole turn brown.
4. To put the tostadas together, spread a thin layer of Easy Guacamole over each toasted tortilla shell. Add the shredded lettuce, then finish with the finely grated cheese.
5. If you’d like, add sliced olives, sliced green onions, chopped tomatoes, or salsa. The simplest version is just guacamole, lettuce, and grated cheese.
