A delightful twist on the classic Huevos Rancheros, these tostadas are perfect for a flavorful and satisfying breakfast.
Preheat your oven to broil (500°F).
Ensure your oven rack is positioned in the middle to prevent over-browning.
Heat a frying pan over medium heat and lightly toast the tortillas on both sides until slightly golden but still pliable.
For extra crispiness, you can brush the tortillas with a little oil before toasting.
In the same pan, cook the eggs sunny-side up until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny.
Cover the pan with a lid to help the eggs cook evenly.
Place each toasted tortilla on an oven-safe plate. Top with a cooked egg, a generous spoonful of salsa, and a sprinkle of hot sauce if desired.
Be gentle when transferring the eggs to avoid breaking the yolks.
Sprinkle shredded cheese over the top and place under the broiler until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Keep a close eye on the broiler to prevent burning.
Remove from the oven and garnish with sliced avocado, a pinch of salt, and a dash of pepper. Serve immediately.
For added freshness, you can sprinkle some chopped cilantro on top.
