Salt to taste.
Add the avocado to the salad and mix very gently until the avocado is dispersed evenly.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes to lightly chill the salad.
Serve the tuna salad on tostadas.
Notes
This salad is best eaten immediately although if you have some leftover it will keep in the refrigerator for a day.
Use the mayonnaise sparingly. More isn't better for this salad.
Add only 1 serrano chile to reduce the heat.
