Mash the avocado in a small bowl with the tomato, red onion, cilantro, lime juice, salt, pepper to taste.

Season scallops with salt and black pepper. Add the butter and oil to a 12-inch skillet on high heat.  Once the butter begins to smoke, gently add the scallops, making sure they are not touching each other. Sear the scallops for 1 1/2 minutes on each side. The scallops should have a 1/4-inch golden crust on each side while still being translucent in the center.

Spoon the guacamole onto the tostada, top with scallops and drizzle with sour cream.

This recipe takes me back in time. There was a little taco place near where I lived when I got my very first job and everyday on my way home from work I stopped and got 2 of these (everytime I  try to type in the name of this recipe spell check changes it to tornado.) I'm going to make these right now with a smile on my face remembering how much I loved these. And maybe I'll  make them tomorrow too...just for old times sake. Thank you for this recipe!

I have tried this amazing tostadas recipe and i found this recipe really easy to make and very delicious in taste.
