Barbecue Tostadas and Avocado Salsa

Ingredients
1 cup pre-diced fresh tomatoes
1 1/2 cups pre-diced red onions, divided
3–4 sprigs fresh cilantro (rinsed)
1 avocado (rinsed)
1 lime (rinsed)
cooking spray
1 (16-ounce) package fully cooked sweet barbecue pork (or beef)
1 1/4 cups shredded Mexican-blend cheese, divided
8 yellow corn tostada shells

Steps
1. Place tomatoes and 1/2 cup onions in medium bowl. Remove stems and chop cilantro (1 tablespoon); add to bowl. Cut avocado into quarters; remove skin, and cut into small pieces (about 3/4 cup); add to salsa. Squeeze juice of lime into salsa (1 1/2 tablespoons); toss well to mix.
2. Preheat large sauté pan on medium-high 2–3 minutes. Coat pan with cooking spray and add remaining 1 cup onions; cook 3 minutes or until onions begin to brown. Stir in barbecue meat and 1 cup cheese. Reduce heat to medium-low; simmer 4–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thoroughly heated and temperature reaches 165°F. Use meat thermometer to accurately ensure doneness.
3. Assemble tostadas by topping each with 1/4 cup meat mixture and 1/4 cup avocado salsa; sprinkle with 1 tablespoon cheese. Serve.
