I love a simple but crazy delicious breakfast, and these tostadas are just that. I make fresh tostadas from corn tortillas, which always taste better to me and take very little effort, but you can always buy tostadas instead and save yourself a step in the morning. The toppings on these tostadas are my ideal toppings, but you can change them up however you’d like. Cook an overeasy egg instead or top with some sour cream. The best part is that these can be different every time you make them and still be so very good.
