But a leftover protein, like steak, can be the basis of a delicious weekend breakfast.
The following recipe for steak tostadas came about when I had a small piece of steak in the fridge from a meal the night before.
It wasn’t enough for lunch, but just right for breakfast for two.
This recipe also includes salsa and eggs, two things I always have on hand. You can substitute cooked chicken or pork for the steak and change up the eggs by scrambling them instead.
Put your favourite hot sauce on the table to accompany the tostadas and it’s a delicious start to the day.
