Change up your egg-and-toast breakfast (or dinner) routine with these simple, healthy Black Bean and Egg Tostadas — ready in minutes with just a few staple ingredients.
I’m typically an egg-and-toast person for breakfast. Occasionally I have oatmeal, but most mornings it’s a quick fried egg on a slice of lightly buttered Ezekiel bread with my coffee. Eggs are also my go-to when I want breakfast for dinner, which is how these easy Black Bean and Egg Tostadas became a regular option.
When you have the ingredients on hand — which is often the case — these tostadas come together in just a few minutes. The recipe below is for one tostada, though I usually make and eat two at a time.
This recipe works well for those nights when you don’t know what to make for dinner or whenever you want something different for breakfast. It’s quick, satisfying, and easy to adapt.
I often double the black beans and store the extras in a container so I can assemble tostadas for a few days without extra work. I also enjoy adding corn tortillas and black beans to eggs in other dishes, like a tortilla skillet — it’s a great flavor combination.
Hope you enjoy this simple, healthy twist on eggs and toast!
