Breakfast Tostadas with Black Beans and Salsa
Start your day with these vibrant and flavorful breakfast tostadas! Crispy corn tortillas topped with seasoned black beans, fresh salsa, eggs, and avocado make for a satisfying and nutritious morning meal.
Ingredients
- 4 corn tortillas 6-inch
- 1 tbsp olive oil for brushing tortillas
- ¼ tsp salt for tortillas
- 1 can black beans 15 oz, drained and rinsed
- ½ small onion diced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- ½ tsp chili powder
- 1 tbsp olive oil for cooking beans
- ¼ cup water or vegetable broth
- 4 large eggs fried or scrambled
- 1 cup fresh salsa store-bought or homemade
- 1 avocado sliced
- ¼ cup cilantro chopped
- ¼ cup crumbled cotija or feta cheese optional
- 1 lime cut into wedges
- hot sauce to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Brush both sides of the corn tortillas with olive oil and sprinkle lightly with salt. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crispy and golden. Set aside.
- In a medium skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic, cumin, and chili powder. Cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add the drained black beans and water (or broth). Simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally. Use the back of a spoon to mash some of the beans for a creamier texture. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- While the beans are cooking, prepare your eggs as desired (fried or scrambled).
- To assemble the tostadas, spread a layer of the seasoned black beans on each crispy tortilla. Top with an egg, fresh salsa, sliced avocado, cilantro, and crumbled cheese if using.
- Serve immediately with lime wedges and hot sauce on the side.
Notes
For a time-saving shortcut, you can use store-bought tostada shells instead of baking your own. To make this recipe vegan, simply omit the eggs and cheese or use plant-based alternatives. The black bean mixture can be made ahead and refrigerated for up to 3 days - just reheat before serving.
