Avocado-Egg Salad Tostada Filling

Avocado-Egg Salad Tostada Filling blends mashed avocado with lime, mustard, and paprika for a tangy, smoky base, then folds in chopped hard-boiled eggs, crisp bacon, tomato, and onion. It’s rich yet bright, with a hint of heat from cayenne. Ideal for piling onto tostadas for lunch, brunch, or a casual appetizer spread.

  1. 1

    Arrange the eggs in a single layer in a saucepan and add enough water to cover them by 1 inch.

  2. 2

    Cover the saucepan and bring the water to a boil over high heat.

  3. 3

    When the water reaches a boil, remove the pan from the heat and let the eggs sit in the hot water for 15 minutes.

  4. 4

    Drain the hot water, cool the eggs under cold running water in the sink, then peel and chop once they are cold.

  5. 5

    Place the bacon in a large, deep skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning now and then, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes.

  6. 6

    Transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain, then crumble once cool.

  7. 7

    Mash the avocado in a mixing bowl with the lime juice, mustard powder, paprika, and salad dressing.

  8. 8

    Stir in the chopped eggs, crumbled bacon, diced tomato, and diced onion until evenly combined, then season to taste with salt and cayenne pepper.
