Creamy crispy crunchy tuna melt tostadas are the perfect easy dinner for a busy day!

Growing up, my dad did not cook very often, but once in while he would make me tuna salad. I might be a little biased but I think his version was the best one. It is a delectable creamy, garlicky, crunchy hug. He also used a secret ingredient that is a pantry staple. And because I am obsessed with pasta, I took the opportunity to turn my dad’s tuna salad into a pasta dish by throwing in some noodles and veggies.

Dash Of Gratitude Tip While You Cook:

My mission with Chop Happy is to create easy recipe for busy people with a dash of gratitude! Since we all have to be in the kitchen at some point in our day lets use that time to zen out and gain more gratitude.

For the 10 minutes while the tostada is cooking visualize your dreams as if it is already here. Working on you does not have to be a long drawn out process. It can be as simple as making agreements with yourself. The perfect book to read to learn more about finding calmness and purpose is The Four Agreements Read some pages while the house fills with cheesy joy. Hope this helps you find joy in a crazy day and I am so grateful for you!

Recipe Hack / Cooking Tips:

Make Limes Juicier: If your lemons or limes are not juicy put them in the microwave. Place for 10 seconds and this should wake up and soften the lime for maximum citrus juice for your recipe.
Easy Tostada: Just spray tortillas on both sides and cook on wire rack 10 minutes at 400 degrees! Then salt the crispy tortillas while still hot!
Gratitude While Stirring: Use the kitchen as a place for self care. As you stir or chop say what you are grateful for. I do this all the time so that cooking can be a time to recharge.
