Breakfast Tostadas

One of my favorite meals of the day is breakfast, and I could eat it pretty much any time of the day. In an effort to come up with different types of breakfast options, I decided to mix it up with one of my other favorite types of foods, tostadas. The possibilities with these are endless. A lot of times, I also like to incorporate leftovers into my breakfast food. It's something my dad bought me as a child, when he would fry up leftover mashed potatoes into potato pancakes :) This is usually the only time I ever eat leftovers lol. Some great leftover meals to incorporate are tacos, fajitas, cheese steak sandwich filling, etc. Just use your imagination!! However, you don't have to make it with anything else, you can use just eggs, it's all up to you. Personalize it, and make it your own!

Here's what you'll need:

2 eggs
splash of milk
salt to taste
pepper to taste
2-3 soft corn tortilla shells
olive oil
fillers, such as: left over fajita meat with onions and peppers, left over taco meat, left over cheesesteak meat and veggies, chorizo, corned beef hash, mixed vegetables, cheese, etc!!
toppings, such as: choice of cheese, cilantro, jalapeño, green chilis, pico de gallo, salsa, hot sauce, green onion, white minced onion, avocado, guacamole, sour cream, chopped up bacon, etc!!


We had steak tacos for dinner the night before, and I knew they would never taste the same, so I "repurposed" them! What I did first was removed the carne asada, onions, and cilantro toppings, and added it all to a hot frying pan. At this point you can cook any meat, cheese, or vegetables that you want combined with your eggs. Or, you can just make plain eggs, it's up to you. While the meat was warming, I added a little olive oil to a bigger frying pan and put the corn tortillas in, to crisp them up. You can use PAM spray for fewer calories, or even put the tortilla shells in the oven to crisp them up. I then combined the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper in a bowl and when the steak was hot, I added the egg mixture. Remember to watch your tortilla shells so they don't burn, and flip once they've started to brown.

This is the point where you will incorporate whatever toppings you want with your eggs.  Make sure you stir well, so the eggs do not burn, and cook until the scrambled eggs are done.

Remove the eggs from the heat. The tortilla shells should be done, right around the same time as the eggs. Place them on a plate and carefully spoon the egg mixture onto the shell. Top with all of your favorite toppings and enjoy!!
