Ingredients

1 corn tostada

1 egg

½ avocado, sliced

2 tablespoons queso fresco

2 tablespoons diced tomato

1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped

Directions

  1. Crack the egg into a small bowl and beat lightly with a fork. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the beaten egg. Stir gently and frequently until the egg is fully cooked through and no longer runny, about 3-4 minutes. The internal temperature should reach 160°F for food safety.

  2. Place the tostada on a serving plate. Spoon the warm scrambled egg onto the center of the tostada.

  3. Top the eggs with the sliced avocado, arranging the slices in an attractive pattern.

  4. Sprinkle the queso fresco cheese evenly over the tostada, followed by the diced tomato and fresh cilantro.

  5. Serve immediately while the egg and tostada are still warm.

This is a genuine 20-minute breakfast, not 45: five ingredients hit the pan or plate in quick succession. All components are stocked year-round at Harris Teeter, Food Lion, Walmart, and ALDI, with queso fresco widely available in Charlotte's Latin sections; no special trip needed. Cost per serving lands around $2.50–$3.00, driven by the avocado and egg, both reasonable for a filling single breakfast. The only caveat is that tostadas and fried eggs do not reheat, so this is a same-morning dish, and a household with multiple people eating breakfast will need to repeat the assembly line—not a flaw, just a rhythm to know going in.
