Chorizo, Egg and Cheese Tostadas
These breakfast tostadas are stacked with porky beans, funky cheese and runny eggs. It’s a dish with a lot of contrasting textures — the crunchy tostada, creamy chorizo beans and a jammy egg — that blend together cohesively. This recipe speeds things up by starting with canned beans, making it perfect for busy mornings. The beans are fried in the rendered chorizo fat to soften them and infuse them with warm spices, then mashed with chicken broth until smooth and spreadable. This recipe calls for raw Mexican pork chorizo rather than the cured Spanish variety. A squeeze of lime and a spoonful of salsa (such as salsa fresca or salsa macha) provide acidity to balance the rich elements of the dish, while the serranos and cilantro add a hit of freshness. You can have a single tostada for a light breakfast or a couple for a complete meal.
