• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• In a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, add the bacon and cook, turning halfway through, until crisp, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate.
• Meanwhile, in a saucepan over medium heat, add the vegetable oil, black beans, a pinch of salt and pepper and some hot sauce. Heat until warmed through, mashing the beans with a fork.

Bake until the cheese is melted completely and the edges of the tostadas are beginning to turn golden, about 3 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat 1/4 inch of vegetable oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the egg and cook until the white is set but the yolk is still runny, 5 to 7 minutes.
• To serve, transfer the tostada to a plate, top with the fried egg, diced avocado, salsa, sour cream, a sprinkle of the remaining cheese and the cilantro. Place the bacon on the side and enjoy.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425° F. Place tortillas on an ungreased baking sheet. Lightly brush tortillas on both sides with 1 teaspoon of the oil. Bake about 3 minutes; turn. Bake about 3 minutes more until lightly browned and crisp.
• Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat the remaining 3 teaspoons oil over medium-high heat. Add onion, chile pepper, and garlic; cook until onion is tender. Stir in black beans and tomato; heat through.
• Sprinkle tortillas with half of the cheese. Spoon the bean mixture over the cheese. Sprinkle evenly with the remaining cheese. Bake about 4 minutes or until cheese is melted. Sprinkle with cilantro.

Steps:

• Warm tortillas according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a small bowl use a potato masher or fork to slightly mash beans; set aside. In another small bowl combine eggs, milk, pepper, and salt. Beat with a wire whisk or rotary beater.
• Lightly coat an unheated medium nonstick skillet with nonstick cooking spray. Preheat over medium heat. Pour egg mixture into hot skillet. Cook, without stirring, until egg mixture begins to set. Run a spatula around edge of skillet, lifting egg mixture so that the uncooked portion flows underneath. Continue cooking about 2 minutes more or until egg mixture is cooked through but is still glossy and moist. Remove from heat.
• Spread tortillas with mashed beans. Divide cooked egg mixture between tortillas. Top with tomato, cheese, and cilantro. If desired, top with salsa. Serve immediately.
