PICO DE GALLO
- 3 plum/Roma tomatoes

- ⅛-¼ cup fresh chopped cilantro
- 1 TBSP fresh lime juice plus extra to taste
- ½ tsp salt plus extra to taste
Instructions
FIRST MAKE THE PICO
- Core the tomatoes where the stem used to be and cut each tomato in half. Scoop out the seeds and finely dice. The smaller you dice them the better! Peel and finely chop white onion.
- Combine with fresh lime juice and fresh chopped cilantro. Season with salt. Adjust lime/cilantro/salt recipe to taste if desired by adding extra of your favorites. For an optional something extra, feel free to add a drizzle of avocado oil at the end if you have some handy.
SEASON THE BEANS
- Add spices (chili powder, garlic powder, cumin, and cayenne) to refried beans and mix well.
- Feel free to make the beans mild, medium, or spicy. For extra saucy beans, you can even stir a little salsa or hot sauce into the season beans if you'd like. It's super tasty!
BAKE THE TOSTADAS
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Spread seasoned refried beans onto each tostada then arrange on a prepared baking sheet. Bake for 3 to 5 minutes until tostada is crispy and beans are nice and hot.
FRY OR SCRAMBLE THE EGGS
- While the tostadas bake, cook eggs via favorite method. You can scramble them with a little cheese or pan-fry them until crispy and sunny-side up! Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Once the tostadas are ready, top with your eggs, pico de gallo, and choice of toppings. Dive in while they're hot and crispy!
Notes
Since I always have a package on hand, I used store bought crispy tostada shells.
To make your own tostadas from soft corn tortillas:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Lightly spray both sides of the tortillas with all-natural cooking spray and place them in a single layer on a baking sheet spritzed with oil.
- Sprinkle with a teeny pinch of salt and bake for 10 minutes, flipping them over at the 5-minute mark to nicely crisp both sides.
