Tostadas de Atún
Tuna Tostadas
Canned tuna simmers into a jammy chipotle-tomato tinga, then piles onto bean-slicked crisp tostadas with lettuce, crema, and avocado.

Before you cook
Why do the tostadas get spread with beans before the tuna?
The hot refried beans act as a moisture barrier between the crisp tostada and the tomato-chipotle tuna tinga, keeping the shell from going soggy. You can also make the tuna tinga a day ahead and reheat it gently, then assemble the tostadas just before serving so they stay crisp.
