How to Make Egg Mole Tostada

  1. Lightly spray a small (6-8 inch) skillet with cooking spray.
  2. Heat skillet over medium heat for 1 minute. Add tortilla and cook for 30 seconds per side, until lightly warmed and pliable. (Optional: Add leftover chicken mole to the tortilla before flipping).
  3. Spoon 1/4 cup of mole sauce evenly over one half of the tortilla.
  4. Top the mole sauce with 1 tablespoon of your favorite salsa.
  5. Carefully crack one egg directly onto the salsa.
  6. Cover the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the egg whites are set and the yolk is cooked to your liking.
  7. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of shredded cheese over the cooked egg.
  8. Cover the skillet for another minute, allowing the cheese to melt completely.
  9. Carefully slide the tostada onto a plate. Let cool slightly before eating. The tortilla will be crispy and perfect for hand-held enjoyment!
