Black Bean and Egg Tostadas

Change up your egg and toast breakfast (or dinner) routine with these simple and healthy Black Bean and Egg Tostadas – comes together in just minutes with just a few staple ingredients.

At breakfast, I’m typically an egg and toast girl. Every now and then I go through an oatmeal phase but for the most part I stick to a quick fried egg and a slice of lightly buttered Ezekiel bread with my cup of coffee. Eggs are also my choice when it comes to breakfast for dinner…which is when I started making these easy Black Bean and Egg Tostadas.

If you have all the ingredients on hand, which is highly possible, you can put these little tostadas together in literally just a few minutes. The recipe is for one tostada, but I can usually make (and eat) 2 at a time.

You can file this little recipe under the “I don’t know what to make for dinner” or “I want something different for breakfast” categories. It seems to fit the bill for both categories quite often lately.

Once I’ve made one or two, I usually just store the black beans in a tupperware and this meal becomes a regular thing for 2 or 3 days. It’s really that easy to make and I enjoy the change up. I love adding corn tortillas and black beans to eggs like in this Beef and Egg Tortilla Skillet. If you haven’t tried it yet, I highly recommend it!

Hope you had a great weekend!
