Breakfast Tostadas Recipe on a Griddle
The best thing about bringing the diner to your kitchen besides the AMAZING BREAKFAST TOSTADA is the one pan, easy clean up. If you don’t have a griddle, think of all the possibilities! Pancakes, tortillas, tacos, fajitas, bacon, and obviously, breakfast tostadas!
This one is the most similar to what I have. It’s ceramic and chemical free and covers two gas stove burners.
Once I made the switch to a gas stove, I just bought a griddle pan that could go directly over the stove.
Electric griddle, are AMAZING because you can control the heat to the exact temperature you desire. The only downside is finding a place to store it when it’s not in use. This electric griddle from Amazon is ceramic and chemical free!

Green onions, black beans, cilantro and apple combine to give you an amazing meal that has lots of vitamins and minerals that are essential for proper nutrition.

Black beans are high in fiber, protein, and short chain fatty acids. They also contain a variety of antioxidants including polyphenols and flavonoids, which I have written about in my posts White Bean And Farfalle Soup and Picnic on the Homefront: Balsamic Peanut Dip. These antioxidants have been found to reduce your risk of chronic disease and cancer (Ombra et al., 2016).
Breakfast Tostada Scrambled Eggs and Apples
A delicious and sweet addition to this breakfast tostada recipe is topping with sliced apple. Grilling the sliced apple on the griddle makes it slightly browned and sweetened. The apple really makes the tostada in this recipe. But, apples are more than just a pretty face, they also are healthy for your gut and overall health.
A Mexican Breakfast Tostada with Apple
There is a reason we all have heard the saying, an apple a day keeps the doctor away. In fact, apples are high in fiber and antioxidants including polyphenols. However, the majority of fiber and nutritious antioxidants are in the skin (Feng et al., 2021), so skip the extra effort of peeling your apples and eat them with the skin intact!
Sufficient experimental data demonstrate that apple-rich diets are associated with enhanced human health which is attributed to the presence of phenolic compounds.
Feng et al., 2021
Translation: Apples are good for you! Between the black beans and apples, you will be getting plenty of antioxidants before breakfast is over! The additional polyphenols could support your heart health.
Apples May Support Heart Health
There is evidence that apples can reduce your total cholesterol and support your heart health. With a high amount of polyphenols which support binding bile acids, apples may reduce bad cholesterol. Across research, doctors have found apples associated with heart healthy eating habits (Koutsos, 2015).
Apples May Reduce Risk for Cancer
Doctors conducted a large review of research on the health effects of apple consumption. They found that across controlled trials and cohort studies there was significant evidence of the beneficial impacts of apples on our health (Fabiani et al., 2016). Cancers examined in this study included lung cancer, breast cancer, and cancers of the colorectal cancer (Fabiani et al., 2016).
Are you or one of your loved ones a woman over 70? Doctors have found evidence that eating apples regularly significantly reduces the risk of death from all disease and particularly certain cancers (Hodgson et al., 2016).
Apples Keep You Full Longer
Apples are full of fiber which keeps you full. Across randomized controlled trials, doctors have found that apples may significantly reduce your body mass index (Gayer et al., 2019). However, research did not show effects on individuals’ weight loss. Therefore, rather than loading up on only apples, try integrating them into your diet regularly.
Apples and Your Gut Health
Overall, apples have been found to support your heart health and reduce risk of particular cancers and death. With a high amount of fiber, specifically pectin, apples are a prebiotic (Bulsiewicz, 2020) and good for your gut.
