Ingredients

• 4 pieces corn tostadas
• 4 pieces eggs
• 1 cup refried beans
• 1 cup ranchero sauce (store-bought or homemade)
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 piece ripe avocado
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
• 1 piece lime
• 0.25 cup feta or cotija cheese (crumbled)
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 piece jalapeño (optional, sliced)

Directions

Step 1

Heat the refried beans in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally until warm. Set aside.

Step 2

Warm the tostadas in a dry skillet over medium heat for 1-2 minutes to ensure they are crisp and fresh. Set aside.

Step 3

In a medium skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium heat. Crack the eggs one at a time into the skillet and cook sunny-side up until the whites are fully set but the yolks remain runny, about 3-4 minutes. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Repeat with the remaining eggs, adding more oil if needed.

Step 4

While the eggs cook, slice the avocado and chop the cilantro. Cut the lime into wedges.

Step 5

Assemble the tostadas: spread a generous layer of warm refried beans over each tostada. Top each with one sunny-side-up egg.

Step 6

Spoon ranchero sauce over the eggs and beans, then sprinkle with crumbled feta or cotija cheese.

Step 7

Garnish with avocado slices, fresh cilantro, and jalapeño slices if you like extra heat.

Step 8

Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for a fresh citrusy zing.
