Take breakfast to the next level with sweet potato toasts topped with taco-seasoned refried beans, crisp veggies, a fried egg, and all the taco fixins for a hearty, filling, and nutritious Mexican-inspired breakfast!
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Slice sweet potato into 1/4 inch planks; see note below, you should be able to get 4 planks from the right-sized potato. Place the planks on a baking sheet and lightly drizzle with olive oil and a drizzle of salt. Bake for 18-20 minutes.
1 large sweet potato, 1-2 Tablespoons olive oil, Kosher salt
Meanwhile, stir the refried beans and taco seasoning together. Consider adding a pinch of salt if needed, depending on your beans and seasoning mix.
1 15-ounce can refried beans, 1 Tablespoon taco seasoning
After the sweet potatoes have cooked for the first round, spread the bean mixture on top of each sweet potato, and sprinkle on the cheese (optional to flip the sweet potatoes, not flipping will create a more caramelized bottom). Return to the oven to cook for an additional 8-10 minutes until the potato is cooked through and cheese is melted.
8 Tablespoons cheddar cheese
As the potatoes cook, prepare any toppings. With 5 minutes remaining on the toasts, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat to fry the eggs. Or, prepare the eggs as desired.
4 eggs
Plate the sweet potato toasts, then top with shredded lettuce, additional toppings as desired, and a fried egg. Serve with a sauce and/or salsa, and garnish with additional cilantro and sliced scallions as desired. Enjoy!
Notes
Sweet Potato: find a large, round, evenly shaped sweet potato for best results. From this, you should be able to get 4 planks for 4 servings.
Refried Beans: you'll likely only use about half of the refried beans, depending on the size of your potato. Save the remainder in the fridge for additional toasts, or for nachos, quesadillas, and more!
Want to make them in the air fryer? Use the crisper rack and spread the planks in an even layer. Cook at 400°F for 12-14 minutes until cooked through, adding the beans as described with about 3-4 minutes left in the total cook time.
