  • ¼ cup black beans heated

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Heat the crisp tostada in a small skillet over medium heat for a couple of minutes on both sides, until warmed through.
  2. If using regular soft corn tortilla, coat both sides of the corn tortilla with cooking spray.
  3. Place the tortilla in a hot skillet over medium-high heat, pressing it flat, and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crisp.
  4. Remove from the skillet and place on a paper towel to drain.
  5. Heat a small skillet that is coated with cooking spray over medium heat.
  6. Crack the egg into the pan.
  7. Once the white of the egg is no longer transparent, add the water to the pan and cover it with a lid.
  8. Cook for about 1 minute or until the yolk is clouded over. Do not overcook or the yolk will be hard.
  9. Place the cooked tortilla on a plate then add some of the warm carnitas and a sprinkling of black beans.
  10. Place the egg on top followed by some pickled jalapenos, tomatoes, green onions, and queso fresco. Season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste.
  11. Serve with salsa and sour cream, if desired. Enjoy!
