Tuna & Brie Melt Tostadas
Tuna Brie Melt Tostadas
"Tuna Melt Tostadas – creamy brie cheese atop of tuna, olive and cucumber on crispy tortilla, makes a crunchy and gooey sandwich alternative. This is by no means a traditional tostada – to be honest, the only thing that it has in common with a standard tostada is the toasted tortilla. But it’s a great combination and really tasty. Not the healthiest meal in the world, given the brie, but it’s a beautiful dish. The crunch from the tortilla with the creaminess of the cheese is a fantastic combination!"

Cooking Time20 min
Cooking MethodGrilling, Oven
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon Olive Oil
- 1 teaspoon Dijon Mustard
- 35 grams Cucumber, diced
- 15 grams Olives, sliced
- 1 can tin tuna in brine or water (tin = 120g drained weight)
- 50 grams Brie, sliced
- 1 head Rocket (handful)
- 2 slices Tortillas (around 5-6in diameter)
Instruction
-
Mix together the olive oil and mustard until you have a smooth dressing
-
Mix together the tuna, cucumber and olives and then combine with the oil and mustard dressing
-
Lightly spray the tortilla wraps with oil (I used fry light to save calories) and bake in the oven at 180°C for around 8-12 minutes – you want them to be toasted and a little crisp – they will crispen up more once you’ve removed them from the oven too so don’t be tempted to over-do them.
-
Add the tuna topping on top of the tortillas and then place the brie squares evenly over the top. place under a grill for 3-5 minutes until the cheese is melted
-
Add the rocket on top of the melts and enjoy!
