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

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C), placing two racks near the middle of the oven.
  2. 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.
  3. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, turning halfway, until each tortilla is golden and lightly crisp. Set aside.

Step 2: Preparing the Refried Beans

  1. While the tortillas are baking, warm the refried beans in a small saucepan over low heat.
  2. If the beans are too thick, add a splash of water to achieve the desired consistency.

Step 3: Cooking the Eggs

  1. Fry or scramble the eggs according to your preference.
  2. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper for added flavor.

Step 4: Assembling the Breakfast Tostadas

  1. Spread a generous layer of refried beans over each crispy tortilla.
  2. Top with a sprinkle of grated cheddar cheese.
  3. Place the cooked eggs on top.
  4. Add a spoonful of fresh pico de gallo using a slotted spoon to avoid excess moisture.
  5. Garnish with avocado slices, hot sauce, and crumbled cheese as desired.

Equipment

Notes

  1. Choose Quality Ingredients: Fresh pico de gallo and high-quality cheese make all the difference.
  2. Don’t Overcrowd the Baking Sheet: Make sure the tortillas have space to crisp up evenly.
  3. Customize Your Toppings: Feel free to add sautéed veggies, pickled jalapenos, or a dollop of sour cream for extra flavor.
  4. Serve with Fresh Lime Wedges: A squeeze of lime elevates the flavors.
