I love making these tostadas for brunch, especially when I'm feeding a group. I love an easy brunch setup. My family enjoys them because they are fun to eat and taste delicious. They are great to serve on a football (if that's your thing) Sunday.

What are tostadas?
Tostadas are basically flat taco shells generally made of corn. For our simple breakfast tostadas, we are making mini tostadas, which gives each adult about 2-3 tostadas. Go for that 3rd one...no judgement here!
.
What can you use to make tostadas?
You can find ready made tostadas in your local grocery store and those are fine. But today we're using corn tortillas that we are crisping up in the oven. I think tortillas taste better and give you more flexibility to make your tostadas as crispy as you want.

Breakfast tostadas with black beans
Traditional tostadas are made with refried beans. For these simple breakfast tostadas we're using refried black beans from A Dozen Cousins. A Dozen Cousins beans are 100% plant-based protein, always non-GMO, made with avocado oil, and naturally gluten free! They are so tasty too.

Breakfast tostada with eggs
We're scrambling eggs for our breakfast tostadas but these would be great topped with a fried egg, or even sliced hard boiled eggs. Do your thing and make your eggs based on your preference.
.
Are tostadas healthy for you?
I think breakfast tostadas are pretty healthy. We're loading the scrambled eggs with fresh pico de gallo. If you want to sneak in more veggies, you can add spinach to your eggs. You can even make it healthier by using egg whites.

How to make simple breakfast tostadas
Tostadas taste best fresh. However, if you happen to have leftovers they are still good the next day. Keep in an airtight container in the fridge and warm them in the over or toaster oven the next day to keep them crispy.

Vegetarian Breakfast tostadas
What I like about these tostadas is they complement so many dietary restrictions. They are gluten free and vegetarian.
