(Happy Valentine’s Day! Let’s talk about things my husband hates!)
The husband gets tired of all the Mexican food I try shoving in his face on a daily basis.
“We’re American”, he shouts! “Let’s eat a cheeseburger!”
Then I smile politely and cook the man a taco. I mean, he just doesn’t know good food when he sees it.
Anyway, he leaves for work at 0’dark thirty, so the kids and I are on our own for breakfast. He would die if he knew that I Mexican-ified his favorite meal.
These tostadas are pretty quick and easy to make, which is the way most breakfasts should be, in my opinion. Starting your day with a little bit of spice and a ton of flavor is just the perfect way to wake up! Not to mention, these things are packed full of nutrients and protein and all other manner of good for you stuff, like veggies. For breakfast. Weird, man.
My favorite part? These tostadas fill you right up and keep you full until lunch time!
Breakfast Tostadas
Ingredients
- 2 corn tortillas
- 4 large eggs
- 1/4 cup salsa
- 1/2 cup Southwestern Slaw
- 1/2 avocado sliced into thin strips
- 1/4 cup cotija cheese
- Cholula hot sauce for serving, as desired
- Oil for frying tortillas
Instructions
- In a small skillet, add 1/4 inch of oil to the pan and heat to 350 degrees over medium heat.
- Place one tortilla in the oil and fry until edges are starting to turn golden and crisp. Flip tortilla and continue frying until crisp. Remove to a paper towel lined plate and repeat with the remaining tortilla.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs.
- Pour into a medium skillet over low heat and scramble the eggs. When eggs are just about set, stir in the salsa and continue cooking until eggs are cooked through.
- Place half of the eggs on each tortilla. Top with the slaw, slices of avocado, and cotija cheese.
- Serve with Cholula or more salsa, if desired.

I’d eat Mexican food every single day if I could. These look like the perfect breakfast! We’ll have to get some good food in Austin!

My spouse and son would totally love these. My daughter would like a less-spicy version, but would eat that right up.
Thanks, Karly!

What is so wrong with being American and eating Mexican food everyday??
katie says
Ummm these sound amazing. btw… I think our husbands would get along great because I make either Mexican food or Asian food just about daily and I hear the whole “we’re American” thing at least once a week! lol.
Joanne says
the man doesn’t like mexican food?!? I thought that was like…a boy staple. It’s pretty much the only “ethnic” food my brother will eat after all! Well, I love the sound of these tostadas. Totally my kinda meal!

Aimee @ ShugarySweets says
OMG you crack me up!!! I could totally eat Mexican for every single meal. And we eat some version of mexican food more than half the week for dinner. Fortunately my hubs LOVES mexican. Actually would love it more often than I make it…I think we need these breakfast tostadas for dinner. Soon.
