Ingredients
Scale
- 8 corn tortillas (ensure they are 100% corn for maximum crispiness)
- 1 tablespoon of extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 cups of refried beans (warmed)
- ½ cup of grated sharp cheddar cheese
- 8 eggs (fried or scrambled, based on your preference)
- 2 cups of fresh pico de gallo
- Optional garnishes: your favorite hot sauce, avocado slices, and crumbled Cotija or feta cheese.
Instructions
Step 1: Preparing the Crispy Tortillas
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C), placing two racks near the middle of the oven.
- Brush each side of the tortillas lightly with olive oil and arrange them in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, turning halfway, until each tortilla is golden and lightly crisp. Set aside.
Step 2: Preparing the Refried Beans
- While the tortillas are baking, warm the refried beans in a small saucepan over low heat.
- If the beans are too thick, add a splash of water to achieve the desired consistency.
Step 3: Cooking the Eggs
- Fry or scramble the eggs according to your preference.
- Season with a pinch of salt and pepper for added flavor.
Step 4: Assembling the Breakfast Tostadas
- Spread a generous layer of refried beans over each crispy tortilla.
- Top with a sprinkle of grated cheddar cheese.
- Place the cooked eggs on top.
- Add a spoonful of fresh pico de gallo using a slotted spoon to avoid excess moisture.
- Garnish with avocado slices, hot sauce, and crumbled cheese as desired.
