Tostadas make a super delicious and healthy way to start the day! And they’re especially quick-n-easy to assemble when you use leftovers from your favorite home-cooked Mexican-themed dinner.
That’s why whenever I schedule tacos or burritos on my Weekly Meal Plan, I also make sure there are some leftovers for making these fast and fun breakfast tostadas. Then, it’s as simple as toasting the tortillas, scrambling up some eggs, and pulling out a few leftovers to create an awesome build-your-own Breakfast Tostada Buffet.
Ingredients
- 1 gluten-free or grain-free tortilla per person you're serving
- 2 eggs per person you’re serving
- Leftover taco meat, refried beans or fajita ingredients
- Sour cream
- Pico de gallo (or salsa)
- Diced avocado (or guacamole)
- Shredded cheese
- Finely chopped fresh cilantro
Instructions
- Place tortillas in 250-degree oven to allow them to slowly crisp-up (about 5-8 minutes).
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. In a large bowl, whisk eggs with just a bit of water or milk, until foamy.
- Add some butter or olive oil to the hot pan and then carefully pour in the eggs. Using a whisk (or wooden spoon), gently stir eggs until curds form. Switch to a spatula to turn over eggs until cooked, but not dry. Transfer to a large bowl and cover.
- Place the scrambled eggs, tortillas and all of the remaining ingredients out on the counter to form a build-your-own Breakfast Tostada Buffet.
- Then, hand everyone a plate and take turns creating your own delicious tostada – definitely a fun and healthy way to start the day!
