Ingredients

Scale

8 corn tortillas (make sure they’re 100% corn for a crispy texture)
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
2 cups refried beans, warmed
½ cup grated sharp cheddar cheese
8 eggs (fried or scrambled, as preferred)
2 cups pico de gallo
Optional garnishes: Hot sauce, salsa, avocado slices, crumbled Cotija, or feta cheese

Ingredient Substitutions

For a vegan option: Substitute eggs with scrambled tofu.
Gluten-free: Ensure that tortillas are 100% corn-based.
For a spicier kick: Add pickled jalapeños or a splash of Sriracha.

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Tortillas

Preheat your oven to 400°F and position two racks near the middle of the oven.
Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Brush both sides of each tortilla lightly with olive oil. Arrange four tortillas in a single layer across each pan.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, turning halfway through until golden and crisp. Set aside.

Step 2: Prepare the Refried Beans

Warm the refried beans over medium heat in a saucepan.
If the beans are too thick, add a splash of water or broth to reach your desired consistency.

Step 3: Cook the Eggs

Prepare eggs according to preference: Fried eggs for a sunny-side-up look, or scrambled for a fluffier option.

Step 4: Assemble the Tostadas

Spread a generous spoonful of warm refried beans on each crispy tortilla.
Sprinkle grated sharp cheddar cheese on top.
Add the cooked egg(s) onto the cheese layer.
Use a slotted spoon to add pico de gallo to each tostada.
Top with your favorite garnishes: Hot sauce, sliced avocado, crumbled cheese, or a drizzle of salsa.
