Tuna Tostadas

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 350F. 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 1/3 cup tuna mixture over avocado. Top each tortilla with crumbled cheese. Makes 8 servings. *Store bought tostada shells may be substituted. Note: Tuna mixture makes a delicious sandwich using avocado mixture as sandwich spread.
