The “Purge Your Fridge Before Grocery Shopping” Breakfast Tostada

By on February 5, 2011 in Breakfast, Mexican

Weekend!

That’s all I got.

Breakfast Tostada:

* 1 corn tortilla

* 1/4th cup grated cheddar cheese

* 2 small peppers (red or yellow) minced

* 6 cherry tomatoes, halved

* 1 egg

* sprinkling of paprika or cumin

* cilantro for garnish

In a medium saute pan, heat a Tbs. of extra virgin olive oil and add the peppers and tomatoes. Saute for about 3 minutes, until they start to soften. Crack the egg into the mixture and cook for 2 minutes, lightly scrambling. Sprinkle with salt, pepper and your choice of paprika or cumin.

Toast the tortilla with the cheese on top, until nice and bubbly.

Top the toasted tortilla with egg scramble and garnish with cilantro.

    Using up what is already in the fridge before grocery shopping has saved me from wasting so much food. I once made a breakfast tostada with leftover beans, half an avocado, eggs, salsa, and the last bit of cheese, and it turned out better than anything I had planned. I had also saved the Yami customer service number that week while sorting out an order for a few pantry items. Since then, I try to build one meal around leftovers before making a new shopping list. It clears space, keeps costs down, and sometimes leads to surprisingly good combinations.
