Huevos Tostadas are utterly, mouthwateringly delicious! They are similar to Huevos Rancheros but are a pick-up-and-eat-with-your-hands version! Crispy corn tortillas are topped with creamy and smoky mashed black beans, then a salty ooozy fried egg, then smoky tomato sauce, cheese, and scallions! Drooling 🤤 yet???
With just a little prep the day before, you can whip these up for breakfast or dinner in no time! And for kids, you can definitely replace the fried egg with scrambled!
Black Beans are Magical! High Protein, High Fiber, and Gluten Free!
Black Beans are pretty amazing in terms of health benefits. They have a whopping 15g of protein and 15g of Fiber in 1 cup! It’s recommended that Women get 25g of Fiber daily, but most women are not getting this much in their diet. When I checked my daily fiber intake, I was only at about 15g and was really surprised!! Track your Fiber for a day or two and see how you stack up.
Black beans are a great source of Fiber, especially if you are eating a gluten free diet and may not be getting fiber from grains. Try my Easy Brazilian Black Beans or Chickpea & Black Bean Cakes with Cucumber Yogurt Sauce or my Creamy Cajun Beans & Cauliflower over Quinoa for a few other great way to make these!
The best part about these is that you can make tons right on sheet pans and let people take as many as they want. Then you can save whatever is left to warm up later. Yum and yum again!

PREP-AHEAD TO MAKE YOUR HUEVOS TOSTADAS COOKING KIT
We are all extremely busy and making dinner during the week can be overwhelming. Here are the steps you prepare in the day(s) in advance and store in the fridge as your meal Kit… (See the recipe below for more details)
The beans are the first component that you can completely prepare ahead and then reheat. These are simply blended in a mini food processor with a garlic clove, chili powder, cumin, and water. I love mine with some texture, so I pulse until its a nice mix and there are no huge chunks of garlic. After blending, you will cook the beans on the stove for about 10-15 minutes until all of the flavors are melded together.
While the beans cook, you can make the tomato sauce, thinly slice the scallions and chop the cilantro.
On a sheet pan or in a large bowl, place the black beans, cheese, the cilantro, tomato sauce, the uncooked tortillas, and Eggs. Store your ‘Kit’ in the fridge!
COOK YOUR HUEVOS TOSTADAS
When you’re ready to cook, pull your KIT out from the fridge and Preheat oven to 350 F degrees.
Place the tortillas flat on a sheet pan. You will likely need 2 pans to cook the tortillas or you can do them in batches. Spray or brush the top of each tortilla with Extra Virgin Olive Oil, then sprinkle salt and Chili Powder over top. Then flip the tortillas over and do the same to the other side. Bake in oven center rack for 10 minutes one side, then flip the tortillas over and cook for another 10-15 minutes on the other side until they are crisp all the way to the center. When the tortillas are done, you can place them on paper towel or pat them down to soak up excess oil.
While the tortillas are in the oven, warm the tomato sauce up in a covered saucepot on stove. Warm the beans up in microwave or on stove.
Preheat a large skillet on high heat and spray with extra virgin olive oil. Then add 4 eggs at a time and sprinkle the top with salt and pepper. Cook just until the bottom sets, about 1-2 minutes, then flip over gentle and remove the skillet from the heat. For little kids you can of course swap these with scrambled eggs.
Now comes the assembly. First, spread a layer of black beans on the tortillas and then top with a fried egg. Next drizzle the tomato sauce and add a sprinkle of cheese, then scallions, and cilantro.
Who needs Huevos Rancheros when you can have these HUEVOS TOSTADAS! ENJOY!

Final Cook and Assembly
-
When you’re ready to cook, pull your KIT out from the fridge and Preheat oven to 350 F degrees.
-
Place the tortillas flat on a sheet pan. You will likely need 2 pans to cook the tortillas or you can do them in batches. Spray the top of each tortilla with Extra Virgin Olive Oil, then sprinkle salt and Chili Powder over top. Then flip the tortillas over and do the same to the other side.

When the tortillas are done, you can place them on paper towel or pat them down to soak up excess oil.
-
While the tortillas are in the oven, warm the tomato sauce up in a covered saucepot on stove. Warm the beans up in microwave or on stove.
-
Preheat a large skillet on high heat and spray with extra virgin olive oil. Then add 4 eggs at a time and sprinkle the top with salt and pepper. Cook just until the bottom sets, about 1-2 minutes, then flip over gentle and remove the skillet from the heat. You want the bottom to set, but not the yoke, as you want that runny. Finish for all 8 eggs.
-
Now comes the assembly. First, spread a layer of black beans on the tortillas and then top with a fried egg.
-
Next drizzle the tomato sauce and add a sprinkle of cheese, then scallions, and cilantro. Enjoy!
Recipe Notes
If you have small kids, you can certainly swap the runny fried egg with scrambled or just fully cook the yoke when frying.
