  • 4 c vegetable oil (for frying)
  • Pinch of salt

Tostada Bowl (Option #2 - Oven Baked)

  • 6 yellow corn tortillas
  • cooking spray
  • Pinch of salt

Guacamole (makes 6 servings)

  • 3 ripe avocados, peeled and seeded
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • ½ tsp ground black pepper
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 small tomato, seeded, small dice
  • 2 scallions, green part only, finely sliced
  • 3 tbsp cilantro, roughly chopped

Pico de Gallo (makes 6 servings)

  • 3 medium-sized tomatoes, medium dice
  • 1 small white onion, medium dice
  • 1 jalapeno, seeded, small dice
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 2 tbsp cilantro, roughly chopped
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • ½ tsp sea salt
  • 1 tsp olive oil, extra virgin

Chipotle Lime Crema (6 servings)

  • 3 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
  • 1 garlic clove
  • ½ c mayonnaise
  • ½ c sour cream
  • 2 tbsp lime juice
  • ½ tsp sugar
  • Pinch of salt & pepper

Eggs

  • 6 eggs
  • 4 c of water
  • 1 tbsp white vinegar

Other Ingredients

  • 2 c arugula, washed
  • Chopped scallion and cilantro

Instructions

Tostada Bowl (Method 1 - Deep Fried)

In a 2-quart saucepan, on medium heat, bring the oil to temperature. Test it by dropping a small piece of tortilla into the oil. If it immediately begins to sizzle and fries fairly quickly without burning, it is ready. Gently place one tortilla into the oil and hold the bowl of a ladle in the center of the tortilla. Fry until light golden brown. Using tongs, remove it from the oil and place upside down on a paper towel. Repeat for each tortilla.

Tostada Bowl (Method 2 - Oven Baked)

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Next, wrap tortillas in damp paper towels and place on a microwave-safe dish. Microwave for 30-45 seconds. Take the muffin tin and turn it upside down onto a baking sheet. Spray the tortillas with cooking spray, lightly sprinkle with salt and drape tortillas over muffin cups. Bake for 10-15 minutes until crispy.

Guacamole

In a medium-sized bowl, add avocado, garlic, lime juice, salt, and pepper, and smash together with a fork to desired consistency (slightly chunky is recommended). Next, add the tomatoes, scallion, cilantro, and mix together well. Cover and place in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

Pico de Gallo

In a separate medium-sized bowl, combine all of the Pico de Gallo ingredients. Cover and place in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

Chipotle Lime Crema

In a food processor, add the garlic and pulse until minced. Next, add the chipotle peppers (remove the seeds to reduce spiciness), mayo, sour cream, lime juice, sugar, and all of the adobo sauce. Pulse until smooth. Cover and place in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

Eggs

In a large pot, bring water to a simmer. Add vinegar. Crack an egg into a small bowl and gently tilt the egg into the water. Repeat this step for each egg. Cook them for 3-4 minutes or until the white is set. Remove them with a slotted spoon onto paper towels.

Putting it Together

Gather all of your prepared ingredients. Take a tostada bowl and smear guacamole in the center of the bowl. Next, add a handful of arugula, followed by some pico de gallo, then top with an egg. Add a spoonful of chipotle crema on top of the egg. Garnish with chopped scallion and cilantro. Whew! You did it. Enjoy!
