These tostadas make the top of the family request list a lot. For breakfast or brunch, even dinner sometimes, they are really quick to make and are always a favorite. One reason I love them is that they are very healthy option, packing a lot of protein and some veggies on an open-faced tortilla. You can chop up all your vegetables and condiments the night before, (except for the avocado) so they are ready to go in the morning and you can just put them together on the spot. They take about ten minutes total to make, so they are perfect for a busy weekend. Feel free to get creative with toppings, I like to play around with any vegetables I have in the refrigerator. Basically anything you can dice works!
