How to Make Breakfast Tostadas

First, warm the refried beans on the stovetop or in the microwave. Set out a skillet over medium heat. Add the chorizo and break it apart with a wooden spoon as you brown it. Stir and cook for 5 to 8 minutes, until fully cooked. In a second skillet, cook the eggs to order, either sunny side up, fried, or scrambled. Make sure to salt and pepper the eggs. Lay out eight tostado shells. Spread 1 to 2 ounces of warm refried beans over each tostada, followed by one cooked egg per tostada. Sprinkle cooked chorizo over each one of the crispy tortillas. Then spoon on pico de gallo, and add a bit of the crumbled cheese. Finish the breakfast tostadas with several dashes of hot sauce, if desired.
