Add chorizo to a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Break up the chorizo with a spatula and cook until the fat has rendered and the chorizo is cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
Add the sliced onion to the skillet with the chorizo and cook for another 2-3 minutes, until the onion has softened.
While the chorizo cooks, heat vegetable oil in a separate skillet over medium heat.
Crack the eggs into the hot oil and season with salt and pepper. Cook to your desired doneness (e.g., sunny-side up with a runny yolk or over-hard).
To assemble, place two tostada shells on a plate.
Spread a layer of refried beans evenly over each tostada.
Top the beans with a generous layer of the cooked chorizo and onion mixture.
Carefully place a fried egg on top of the chorizo on each tostada.
Sprinkle crumbled queso fresco over the eggs.
Drizzle with Mexican crema.
Arrange sliced avocado on top and season with a pinch of salt.
Garnish with fresh cilantro, if desired.
Finish with a spoonful of your favorite salsa and serve immediately.
Store leftover cooked chorizo and beans separately in airtight containers for up to 3 days; reheat gently before assembling fresh tostadas.
Yes. Fry or air-fry corn tortillas until crispy (2-3 minutes at 375°F), then assemble as directed.
Remove casing and crumble the chorizo into a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through. Drain excess fat if needed.
Prepare chorizo and beans ahead and store in the refrigerator. Assemble tostadas fresh just before serving so shells stay crispy.
Substitute with sour cream thinned with a splash of milk, or use Greek yogurt for a tangier option.
Assemble just before eating. Spread refried beans as a barrier between the shell and wet toppings like eggs and avocado.
