Egg, Bean and Chorizo Tostada with Salsa Verde: Little Time Spent Doesn’t Mean Little Flavor!
In case you aren’t familiar, chorizo is a loose Mexican sausage with a bit of a spicy kick. You can keep this recipe vegetarian by using traditional canned refried beans, or make add a little heat by using refried beans that already contain chorizo (Rosarito brand makes refried beans with chorizo and can be found in the Mexican aisle of your grocery store) Either way, this meal is a delicious source of protein and healthy fats thanks to the eggs and avocado!
That Runny Yolk Though…
The key to a perfectly fried egg is a really hot pan and plenty of butter or olive oil to prevent sticking. Cook until the whites are set and leave those yolks runny…or not. My husband likes them cooked through and firm. To each his own! No matter how you prefer your eggs cooked, you learn to fry an egg perfectly here.
