Kitty Tostadas

Makes 6 servings

Tex-Mex is one of my favorite comfort foods. This recipe is my nod to a favorite cuisine. This is a great recipe for both cats and dogs. The tuna mixture can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for 1 month. The tortillas will keep for 2 weeks in the refrigerator or up to 1 month in the freezer if stored in an airtight freezer bag.

4 corn tortillas
2 x 9 ounce cans dark tuna in oil
1/2 cup chopped tomatoes
1/2 cup corn (fresh or canned)
2 tablespoons chopped red bell pepper
1/4 cup frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1/2 cup grated Cheddar cheese

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Spray a cookie sheet with nonstick cooking spray.

2. Place the tortillas on the cookie sheet and bake or broil until brown, turning them over midway through. If
    broiling, this will take about 1 minute per side; if baking, it will take about 2 to 3 minutes per side.
    Watch closely so that they don't burn.

3. In a saute pan, saute the tuna, tomatoes, corn, bell pepper, and spinach for 5 minutes.
    Add the tomato paste to help thicken and saute for an additional 5 minutes.

4. Break up the tortillas and sprinkle over each serving to give them a little crunch.
    Then sprinkle with a little bit of the Cheddar cheese and serve.
