I shared this Rise and Shine Breakfast Tostadas recipe on our older blog some time back because I was in a breakfast funk and was cruising through Pinterest for new ideas.
It’s hard to come up with healthy choices when you are used to just throwing some milk and Cheerios in a bowl. Anyone else out there grow up with cold cereal for the first meal of the day? I would bet there are a lot of us. Nothing against Mom–she did the best she could for her four girls. I can even remember a time when she was trying to get creative with some healthier options, but we just didn’t cooperate very well, except with the frozen banana with peanut butter and wheat germ. That is STILL a winner! Maybe that should be a future post! Stay tuned.
As I was saying, I was cruising through Pinterest and then I found this gem and thought it would be a great recipe to share, plus maybe I would love breakfast again. Plus, their picture looked so colorful and amazing. By the way, this dish is so easy to prepare and you can do it with the messiest of counters. I had just gotten back from work and the store, plus as I was putting food away I noticed how nasty the fridge looked. Took all the stuff off the shelves and out of the drawers and that was also on my counters, and I was able to make my tostada amidst the chaos. Score!
And after my tostada, I finished cleaning/reorganizing the fridge. That was then, and this is now. So glad I was able to whip up this breakfast tostada, again, to share with you.
Hey, maybe you should make up a batch of these Orange Rolls and have those ready as well.
Rise and Shine Breakfast Tostadas

Ingredients
- 1 16-oz. can of refried beans
- 6 tostada shells
- 6 eggs
- 1/4 cup crumbled Queso Fresco
- 1 avocado, sliced
- cilantro
- hot sauce
Directions
- Step 1
- Preheat the oven to 325° F. Place tostada shells in a single layer on baking sheet. Bake 6-7 minutes or until crisp.
- Step 2
- Place refried beans in a small saucepan. Cook on medium heat until warmed through. For those using freeze-dried beans, follow the directions on the package/can. Mine was super easy and I made only as much as I needed.
- Step 3
- Fry eggs according to preference–I like mine over-medium.
- Step 4
- Assemble the tostadas–put equal amounts of re-fried beans on each tostada and spread evenly. Top each with the queso and a few avocado slices. Place an egg on each one and season with salt and pepper. You can also use cilantro and some hot sauce or salsa, if you like. I used hot sauce because, unfortunately, I did not have any fresh salsa ready. Serve warm.
