These oven-baked breakfast tostadas are topped with black beans, avocado, pico de gallo and a fried egg. The ultimate vegetarian, high protein, gluten free breakfast recipe.
This lightened-up oven baked breakfast tostadas are inspired by a recent visit to one of my favorite cities: Austin! Traditionally deep fried in oil, I prefer to brush the tortillas with a little olive oil then bake in a hot oven until crispy.
Topped with all of my favorite Mexican ingredients including cumin-spiced mashed black beans, pico de gallo, queso fresco and avocado – you really can’t go wrong with this gluten free breakfast recipe.
For even more protein, top it with an egg cooked to your desired level of doneness. I like my eggs sunny side up but you could even top with scrambled eggs or sliced hard boiled.
Right before serving, top with a dollop of lime crema for added creaminess and a cool texture to balance the rest of the dish.
Your fork is waiting.
