Ingredients

For the tostadas:

  • 6 small corn tortillas
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil divided
  • kosher salt to taste
  • 1 (15-ounce) can black beans rinsed and drained
  • 3 tablespoons water
  • 1 cup pepper jack cheese shredded
  • 1 avocado halved and pitted
  • 1/2 lime juiced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro chopped
  • freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 6 large eggs

For serving:

  • pickled jalapeños to taste, store-bought or homemade
  • pickled red onions to taste, store-bought or homemade

Directions

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Line an 18x26-inch baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a single layer, add the corn tortillas on the prepared baking sheet and use 1 tablespoon of the olive oil to lightly brush both sides of each of them.
  • Season the tortillas with the salt.
  • Bake the seasoned corn tortillas until they are golden and crispy, about 15 minutes.
  • In a medium bowl, add the black beans and use a fork to mash them until they are mostly smooth with some chunks remaining.
  • Add the water to the mashed beans and stir to combine.
  • Transfer the baking sheet to a wire rack. Evenly divide the bean-water mixture among the seasoned corn tortillas and spread it over them. Evenly sprinkle them with the cheese.
  • Bake the tostadas until the cheese has melted, about 5 minutes.
  • Transfer the baking sheet to a wire rack.
  • In a second medium bowl, scoop the avocado out of the halved shells and smash until it is smooth.
  • Add the lime juice, the cilantro, the salt, and the black pepper to the smashed avocado and stir to combine.
  • In a medium, nonstick skillet over medium heat, add the remaining olive oil.
  • Crack the eggs, in batches, into the prepared skillet and cook until the whites are set, about 3 minutes.
  • Season the cooked eggs with the salt and the black pepper.
  • Spread the smashed avocado over each of the tostadas and top each with one of the eggs.
  • Top the tostadas with the pickled jalapeños, the pickled onions, and the salsa.
