Ingredients
INGREDIENTS
- 4 corn tortillas
- 2 ripe avocados
- 2 large eggs
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil for frying
- Fresh lime juice
- Chopped cilantro for garnish
- Salsa of choice (optional)
Instructions
- Heat a generous amount of olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
- Fry the corn tortillas one at a time until crispy and golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.
- In the same pan, crack the eggs and fry them to your desired level of doneness, seasoning with salt and pepper.
- While the eggs are cooking, mash the avocados in a bowl with lime juice, salt, and pepper.
- Spread the mashed avocado onto each crispy tortilla, then top with a fried egg.
- Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve with salsa, if desired.
Notes
Tip: For an extra flavor boost, try adding a sprinkle of chili flakes or hot sauce on top of the egg.
For a vegetarian-friendly option, skip the egg and top your tostadas with black beans instead. If you’re short on time, consider using store-bought tostada shells. To store leftovers, keep the components separate and assemble just before serving to maintain the tortillas’ crispiness.
Experiment with toppings like diced tomatoes, radishes, or a sprinkle of feta cheese for added flavor. If you prefer softer avocado, mash it with lime juice and seasonings before spreading it on the tostadas.
