Ingredients

  • 1 potato, diced

  • ½ pound lean ground beef

  • ½ cup diced yellow onion

  • 2 tablespoons diced red bell pepper

  • 1 clove garlic, minced

  • ½ cup salsa

  • 1 teaspoon chili powder

  • ¼ teaspoon ground cumin

  • seasoned salt to taste

  • ground black pepper to taste

  • 1 teaspoon olive oil, or as needed

  • 4 eggs

  • 4 crispy tostada shells, warmed

  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro, or to taste (Optional)

Directions

  1. Place potato into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Drain.

  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir beef, onion, red bell pepper, and garlic in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes; drain and discard grease. Add potato, salsa, chili powder, cumin, seasoned salt, and pepper to ground beef mixture; cook and stir over low heat until heated through, 3 to 5 minutes.

  3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat; crack eggs into the hot oil. Cook until lightly browned, about 3 minutes per side.

  4. Place tostada shells on a serving plate; top each with beef-potato mixture. Layer 1 egg onto each tostada; sprinkle with cilantro.
