Ingredients
Scale
- 4 corn tortillas (or store-bought tostadas)
- Vegetable oil, for frying
- 4 large eggs
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- 2 ripe tomatoes, diced
- 1 small red onion, finely chopped
- Handful of fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 jalapeño, seeded and diced
- Juice of 1 lime
- Avocado, sliced
- Crumbled queso fresco or feta cheese
- Extra cilantro, for garnish
- Hot sauce, optional
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, red onion, chopped cilantro, jalapeño, lime juice, and salt. Stir well and set aside to allow the flavors to meld.
- In a large skillet, heat a few tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium heat. Once hot, carefully add the corn tortillas, frying until golden and crispy, about 1-2 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
- In the same skillet, crack the eggs gently into the pan. Season with salt and pepper. Cook until the whites are set but the yolks remain runny, about 2-3 minutes. For firmer yolks, cook a little longer.
- Place a crispy tortilla on a plate, top it with a fried egg, and spoon over a generous amount of the fresh salsa.
- Finish with slices of avocado, crumbled cheese, and extra cilantro. Drizzle with hot sauce if desired.
- Enjoy your Huevos Rancheros Breakfast Tostadas hot, with a side of fresh fruit or a smoothie for a complete meal!
Notes
For a gluten-free option, use corn tortillas. For a dairy-free twist, skip the cheese or use a plant-based alternative.
