BFMH: Breakfast Tostada

I don't need to write much about this dish. This breakfast was solid.

Ranchero Breakfast Tostadas
BLACK BEAN MASH:
2 cups cooked black beans
1 green bell pepper, chopped
1/2 an onion, chopped
2 green onions, white and green parts, chopped
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
Also:
8 small corn tortillas
Extra-virgin olive oil, for brushing
1 tablespoon coconut oil or unsalted butter
8 eggs
DIRECTIONS
Whether cooking the beans from scratch or using canned, drain the beans and add them to a saucepan over low heat and warm through. Add onion, green pepper, cumin, salt, and pepper and saute until everything is well combined and softened. Then mash with a potato masher or a large fork until coarsely mashed but not entirely smooth. Taste for salt and pepper, then turn off the heat and keep covered until needed.
Lightly fry each tortilla in a pan with a little fat until lightly crisped.
Fry eggs to your desired doneness level.
Build a tostada by topping a tortilla with about 1/4 cup of the bean mash, (I added chicken as well since I had some left over), and 1 egg.
Repeat with the remaining ingredients. 
Garnish to taste with sour cream, cheese, tomatoes, hot sauce, avocado, cilantro, lime etc.  



This was delicious. I attribute the success to the Black Bean Mash completely. I actually ended up having this for dinner, but it was totally worth it.
