Tostadas with chorizo and fried eggs topcook.tomathouse.com
Ingredients:
- 1 and 1/4 cups diced cherry tomatoes (about 200 g)
- Half a small red onion, finely diced
- 2 tablespoons pickled jalapeños, finely chopped, + 1 tablespoon brine
- 0.5 cup chopped fresh cilantro + extra for serving
- 1 tbsp freshly squeezed lime juice + wedges for serving
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 8 tostadas
- 1 can (400 g) of canned refried beans
- 200 g raw chorizo sausage without casing
- 1 cup grated Pepper Jack cheese (about 100 g)
- 8 large eggs
Preparation:
- Preheat oven to 220°C.
- In a medium bowl, combine tomatoes, red onion, jalapeño and brine, cilantro, lime juice, 1 tablespoon olive oil, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Set aside.
- Place the tostadas on 2 baking sheets and bake until golden brown, rotating the sheets halfway through, about 5 minutes. Remove from the oven. Spoon the refried beans onto the tostadas (about 2 heaping tablespoons per tostada); spread evenly, leaving a 1/4-inch border. Spread the chorizo on top of the beans. Return the tostadas to the oven and bake until the chorizo is cooked through, about 10 minutes. Sprinkle with grated cheese and continue baking until melted, another 1 to 2 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the eggs and cook until the whites are partially set, 2 to 3 minutes. Cover and cook until the whites are completely set but the yolks are still runny, another 2 to 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Divide the tostadas among plates. Top with pico de gallo, scrambled eggs, and cilantro. Serve with lime wedges.
