Tostadas are crispy tortillas and you can top them with a variety of ingredients. It turns out that when the tortillas are not fresh enough, you can bake/fry them to make them interesting tostadas. But, since the kids love crispy tortillas, I make these irrespective of whether they are fresh or not. Here, I have decided to go the breakfast way and topped it with hashbrowns, eggs and more. Obviously, this was a welcome change to the kids who are usually given bread, cereal, upma, etc. Off to the recipe.
