Servings: 6 tostadas
Ingredients
- 6 hard shell corn tostadas
- 1 16- ounce can refried beans
- 1/2 cup shredded Colby Jack cheese
- 1/3 cup store-bought salsa
- 1 jalapeno - sliced
- 5-6 eggs
- 3 tbsp half-n-half
- 1/4 cup diced bell pepper
- 1/4 cup diced tomatoes
- 1 tbsp diced jalapeno
- 1/2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
Toppings
- 2 tbsp sour cream mixed with a splash of water or milk to make it easy to drizzle
- 6 teaspoons store-bought guacamole
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
Instructions
TO MAKE THE EGGS
- Crack the eggs into a medium-sized mixing bowl.
- Add the milk to the eggs and whisk until they are fully combined.
- Heat the olive oil in a stove-top no-stick skillet on medium heat.
- Add the bell pepper, diced tomatoes, and jalapeno to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes.
- Pour the eggs into the skillet and let them sit for a minute, just until they start to set.
- Use a spatula to move the eggs around, folding them as you go.
- Cook until the eggs are set, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and remove them from the hot skillet.
TOSTADAS
- Heat the oven to 350°
- Lay six tostada shells on a cookie sheet.
- Microwave the refried beans in a microwave dish for 1 minute to soften them.
- Divided the beans equally among the tostada shells and spread them over the entire top of the shells.
- Divide the scrambled eggs among the tostadas and spoon them on the refried beans.
- Top each tostada with 1 ounce of shredded cheese.
- Bake for 10 minutes until cheese melts.
- Remove from oven and top with salsa, a drizzle of sour cream, cilantro, and a dollop of guacamole.
Notes
- To soften the refried beans, spoon the beans into a microwave dish, cover the dish with a paper towel, and microwave for 1 minute. Carefully remove the dish and fluff the refried beans with a fork. If they are still very stiff, add 1 teaspoon of water and microwave again for 10 seconds.
- I recommend serving these tostadas right away. Unfortunately, this is one recipe that does not make a good leftover meal.
- Did you know that you can freeze store-bought guacamole? It's true...it freezes very well. I buy a 4-pack or 6-pack of individual-sized guacamole that is sold in the refrigerator section of the produce department at my local grocery store. I store them in the freezer and thaw them in the refrigerator overnight and they are ready to use.
- Bonus recipe idea: I love Tex Mex fast food pintos and cheese. And I've come up with my own recipe for using leftover refried beans. Place the refried beans on a microwave plate or dish, top them with a spoon of Picante sauce, and shredded cheddar. Microwave 20-30 seconds...so good - just like your favorite fast food taco place.
