For the Guacamole:
4 oz (1 small haas) avocado
1/4 cup diced tomato
2 tablespoon diced red onion
2 teaspoon lime juice
2 teaspoon chopped cilantro
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
fresh black pepper, to taste
For the Tostadas:
2 tablespoons light sour cream, thinned with 1 teaspoon fat-free milk
6 large sea scallops, (8 ounces total) side muscle removed, rinsed and pat dry
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
black pepper, to taste
1 teaspoon unsalted butter
1 teaspoon olive oil
2 large corn tostada shells

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.
