Breakfast Tostada
This protein packed tostada makes a delicious Mexican inspired breakfast. You can choose to have it as a tostada or tacos.
…and for more Latin inspiration, check out this delicious collection of Mexican Recipes.
Having leftover Roasted Corn Salsa & Pickled Jicama after making these Fish Tacos, I created this delicious Mexican inspired breakfast to finish up the leftover stuff. As long as you have the salsa and pickled jicama does in advance, this breakfast comes together very quickly. You can even make it on busy weekday mornings.
With beans, eggs and cheese, it is a protein packed breakfast that will give you the energy to keep going if you’re having a late lunch.
The delicious topping of the tostada can also be used in a soft taco if you prefer, with some lightly toasted corn tortillas.
For those teenagers who are always rushing out the door with barely a bite, stuff a tostada or taco in their hands as they run out the door and let them eat their breakfast on the run. It’s better than them having no breakfast right!
Garnish your Breakfast Tostada with fresh tomato, cilantro, crema (Mexican sour cream) and queso fresco.
