Tostadas With Sweet And Hot Peppers And Eggs Recipes

TOSTADAS WITH SWEET AND HOT PEPPERS AND EGGS

Steps:

• Heat the oil over medium heat in a large nonstick skillet and add the onion or scallions. Cook, stirring, until tender, about 5 minutes for onion, 2 to 3 for scallions, and add the peppers, chili and garlic. Stir together until the garlic begins to smell fragrant, about 30 seconds, and add salt to taste. Continue to cook, stirring often, until the peppers are quite soft, about 8 minutes. Add the tomatoes and cook, stirring often, until the tomatoes have cooked down and are no longer watery, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Beat the eggs in a bowl, season with salt and pepper, and add to the pepper mixture. Stir in the cilantro and cook, stirring over low heat, until the eggs are just set but still creamy. Remove from the heat and spoon onto the toasted tortillas. Top with shredded cabbage or lettuce, sprinkle with cheese if desired and serve.

15-MINUTE BEAN, EGG AND AVOCADO TOSTADAS

Steps:

• Position an oven rack to the center of the oven and preheat the broiler. Meanwhile, coat 8 cups of the muffin tin generously with cooking spray. Crack an egg into each, sprinkle with salt and broil until the tops are golden brown and the egg whites are set but the yolks are still runny, 4 to 5 minutes (a small knife inserted into the egg helps to check doneness). Remove the muffin tin from the oven and set aside.
• While the eggs are cooking, put the refried beans in a small bowl, cover and microwave until hot, about 2 minutes. Dice the avocado. Slice the roasted red peppers into strips.
• Arrange 2 tostadas on each of 4 plates. Spoon and spread some of the beans on each tostada. Use a small off-set spatula or spoon to scoop out the eggs from the muffin tin and place one, browned-side down, on top of each tostada. Spoon salsa verde over each egg and top with roasted pepper, avocado and cheese.

SCRAMBLED PEPPERS AND EGGS

Steps:

• Put oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until it's translucent, 1 or 2 minutes.
• Add peppers, chiles and garlic, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until peppers are brightly colored but not too soft, 4 to 6 minutes.
• Reduce heat to medium-low and pour in eggs. Cook, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula, until eggs are cooked, 3 to 8 minutes. Serve on toast or over rice, or wrapped in a flour tortilla.
