Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and position two racks in the middle of the oven.

  2. If desired, line two large rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

  3. Lightly brush both sides of each tortilla with oil and place them on the baking sheets.

  4. Arrange 4 tortillas in a single layer on each baking sheet.

  5. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, flipping the tortillas halfway through, until they are golden and lightly crisp. Set aside.

  6. While the tortillas are baking, prepare the remaining components:

  7. Make the refried beans, pico de gallo, and cook the eggs according to your preference.

  8. To assemble the tostadas:

  9. Spread warm refried beans over each tortilla.

  10. Sprinkle some cheese on top of the beans.

  11. Place the cooked egg(s) on top and use a slotted spoon or serving fork to add pico de gallo over the eggs.

  12. Optionally, add any desired garnishes.

  13. Serve promptly.

  14. Note: Tostadas are best enjoyed fresh as the tortillas will lose their crispness over time. However, leftovers can still be enjoyed and will keep well in the refrigerator for about 3 days. Leftover refried beans and pico de gallo can also be used as a dip for tortilla chips or filling for quesadillas or burritos.
