BREAKFAST TOSTADA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• In a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, add the bacon and cook, turning halfway through, until crisp, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate.
• Meanwhile, in a saucepan over medium heat, add the vegetable oil, black beans, a pinch of salt and pepper and some hot sauce. Heat until warmed through, mashing the beans with a fork.
• On a baking sheet, layer: 1 tostada shell, 2 tablespoons beans, 1 tablespoon cheese, 1 tostada shell, 2 tablespoons beans, 1 tablespoon cheese, 1 tostada shell, 2 tablespoons beans and 1 tablespoon cheese. Bake until the cheese is melted completely and the edges of the tostadas are beginning to turn golden, about 3 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat 1/4 inch of vegetable oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the egg and cook until the white is set but the yolk is still runny, 5 to 7 minutes.
• To serve, transfer the tostada to a plate, top with the fried egg, diced avocado, salsa, sour cream, a sprinkle of the remaining cheese and the cilantro. Place the bacon on the side and enjoy.

GRILLED STEAK TOSTADAS

Steps:

• Prepare an outdoor grill for high heat.
• Whisk the coffee, chili powder, oil, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a shallow baking dish. Add the skirt steak, turn to coat, set aside at room temperature to marinate for about 20 minutes.
• While the steak marinates, brush the onion slices lightly with oil and grill, flipping occasionally, until soft and lightly charred, about 15 minutes; set aside. Drain the steak and grill, flipping once until medium-rare on the inside with deep grill marks, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer the steaks to a cutting board to rest for 5 minutes and then thinly slice against the grain.
• Top each tostada with a mound of steak, some grilled onions and cilantro leaves. Serve with sliced avocado, Mexican crema, crumbled Cotija cheese, pickled jalapeno, shredded lettuce and/or lime wedges.

TOSTADA WITH CHORIZO

• Pour the oil into a large pot, to a depth of 2 to 3 inches, and heat to 375 degrees F. Drop in 1 tortilla at a time and fry until crisp, about 1 to 2 minutes, turning once. Remove with tongs, shake off excess oil and transfer to paper towels to drain. Repeat for all tortillas.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet over moderate heat. Add the chorizo and saute for 3 minutes, or until browned. Spoon out excess fat. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden. Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 more minute to release its aroma. Add the tomatoes saute an additional minute.
