Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces corn tostadas
- 4 pieces eggs
- 1 cup refried beans
- 1 cup ranchero sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 piece ripe avocado
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
- 1 piece lime
- 0.25 cup feta or cotija cheese (crumbled)
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 piece jalapeño (optional, sliced)
Instructions
Heat the refried beans in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally until warm. Set aside.
Warm the tostadas in a dry skillet over medium heat for 1-2 minutes to ensure they are crisp and fresh. Set aside.
In a medium skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium heat. Crack the eggs one at a time into the skillet and cook sunny-side up until the whites are fully set but the yolks remain runny, about 3-4 minutes. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Repeat with the remaining eggs, adding more oil if needed.
While the eggs cook, slice the avocado and chop the cilantro. Cut the lime into wedges.
Assemble the tostadas: spread a generous layer of warm refried beans over each tostada. Top each with one sunny-side-up egg.
Spoon ranchero sauce over the eggs and beans, then sprinkle with crumbled feta or cotija cheese.
Garnish with avocado slices, fresh cilantro, and jalapeño slices if you like extra heat.
Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for a fresh citrusy zing.
