You will not want to save these Easy Breakfast Tostadas just for breakfast! This flavor-packed recipe is great for breakfast, lunch or dinner.
Most recipes fall into a few categories to me.
The worst – the ones that are just so bad that you end up making peanut butter sandwiches for dinner. The ones where you say – no way, I will never make that again.
Then there are the recipes that are pretty bad, but edible. Despite what you see here on Taste and Tell, a good chunk of the recipes I try go into this category. Sad, but true.
The next group are the recipes that are actually pretty good. But maybe not standout. The ones you say that you’d make again, but they get lost in the shuffle and then in the back of the recipe book, probably to never see the light of day again.
And what about the recipes that you really do love, and you actually do add to the rotation and your family is familiar with them and asks for that recipe often.
But my favorite kind of recipe – and probably the most rare to come across – is that recipe that you make and then cannot get it out of your head. You obsess over it. You make it over and over and you swear that you won’t ever get sick of it. You make it for breakfast, and then again for lunch. (Not that I’ve ever done that. Totally hypothetical…)
This, right here, is one of those recipes. And it’s crazy, because it’s pretty stupid simple. I made these Easy Breakfast Tostadas for the first time, and then totally made it again for lunch that day. And then I had it again the next day. And this continued for a few days. In fact, I just had it again for lunch yesterday, but didn’t have any more avocados on hand but did add some leftover bacon that was in the fridge. Holy. Yum.
And when I say it’s an easy breakfast, I mean it’s an easy breakfast. Perfectly crispy Old El Paso™ tostada shells. Slather on some Old El Paso™ Refried beans. I’m totally going to try this with Old El Paso™’s Black Bean Refried Beans next time. Can’t wait!!
Top it with some queso fresco, sliced avocado, and then a perfectly cooked egg. For me, that means sunny side up. But really, anything will work here – even scrambled eggs! A little bit of cilantro and hot sauce goes on top to really make this breakfast dish shine.
I know that these Easy Breakfast Tostadas are going to be making a showing at my table for a long time to come!!

I’m all for eggs at any meal…..and this dish looks great!

To say that I am excited for these is an UNDERSTATEMENT. Anything with refried beans, runny egg yolks, and hot sauce, and I am IN.
Linda says
Yummy! These may become my new favorite breakfast for dinner!
Wishes for tasty dishes,
Linda
Linde says
Could you just spread the beans on the tostadas and heat in the oven?
Deborah says
You could try, although I’m afraid the tostada would get soggy instead of staying crisp.

I’m making this for breakfast tomorrow before football or Nascar, or whatever sport is on
