Breakfast Tostadas
Quick and easy breakfast tostadas with refried beans, scrambled eggs, avocado, and queso fresco. A simple breakfast for any day of the week!
Servings: 6 tostadas
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 jalapeño, stemmed and diced
- 1 Roma tomato, diced
- 1 white onion, diced
- 6 tostada shells
- ½ cup refried beans
For topping
- Crumbled queso fresco or cotija cheese
- Chopped cilantro
- Avocado slices
- Salsa or hot sauce
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, kosher salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper until light and fluffy, set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Saute jalapeño, tomato, and onions until soft and tender, about 5-8 minutes.
- Pour the eggs into the skillet and let them cook for about 30 seconds. Then, continue gently stirring until the eggs are just cooked through, about 2 minutes.
- Take the skillet off the heat and taste for salt and pepper.
- Assemble the breakfast tostadas by spreading 2 tablespoons of refried beans on the tostada shell. Add the scrambled egg mixture, then top with queso fresco, chopped cilantro, sliced avocados, and salsa. Assemble the remaining tostadas and serve immediately.
Notes
- Use quality tostada shells. Make sure to use tostada shells that are both crispy and sturdy to hold up to all the toppings. You can use your favorite store-bought shells or make your own using my homemade tostada shells recipe.
- Add protein. Make these tostadas extra hearty and filling by adding diced ham, chopped crispy bacon, or crumbled Mexican chorizo. Try my homemade chorizo recipe!
- Add more veggies like spinach or mushrooms into the egg mixture.
- Types of egg. This recipe features scrambled eggs, but you could use a fried egg, like in huevos rancheros, or a poached egg.
