Beef Breakfast Tostadas
These tostadas are actually what starting this whole twofer idea. We had leftover taco meat in the fridge and a bunch of corn tortillas. I wanted to make something tasty on a weekend for breakfast and these tostadas came to be.
Let’s get to it!
The first order of business is to chop your fajita filling into more bite-sized pieces.
When that’s done put the eggs in a bowl and whisk them together with a fork.
Now heat up your vegetable oil over medium heat in a small shallow pan large enough to fit your tortillas. Add a tortilla as soon as the oil starts to shimmer.
When it’s slightly browned on one side, flip it over. Once it’s crispy lay it on a paper towel-lined plate and sprinkle with salt. Repeat this with the rest of your tortillas.
In between frying tortillas, toss the fajita filling in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook fror about a minute, just enough time to heat it through.
Next pour in the whisked eggs and turn the heat down to low. Stir the mixture occasionally as the eggs begin to cook.
Once the eggs are almost done add the shredded cheese.
Cover it with a lid and turn the heat off. Let it sit a couple of minutes covered to melt the cheese. Taste the eggs to see if any salt is needed.
You’re ready to assemble! Place a fried tortilla on a plate and top with some of the cheesy eggs.
Sprinkle chopped onion on top and add sour cream and salsa if you’d like.
This is definitely become one of our favorite breakfasts! The crispy corn tortilla has a nice crunch and adds a nutty flavor. That combined with the meaty egg filling is just “killer” as my husband would say. 🙂
Enjoy!
