Mexican Breakfast Tostadas With Avocado Pico De Gallo

mnvolz's Note:

Ready, Set, Cook! Special Edition Contest Entry: I grew up eating mexican food for breakfast, and knew I wanted to develop something that reminded me of home. This is an easy, savory breakfast that anyone can put together in the morning. It's not overly time consuming, and the end result is a beautiful breakfast meal. The avocado pico is the perfect compliment to the cumin spiced potatoes, black beans, and eggs. Top with sour cream if desired. Enjoy!
