A Favorite from Guatemala!
Our family had the chance to do a humanitarian trip to Guatemala. At the end of the trip, we got to hike Acatenango Volcano. To prepare for this grueling hike, we had breakfast at this amazing restaurant in Antigua that served breakfast tostadas. They were so amazing that we had to recreate them. We are happy to report that we did just that and these breakfast-style tostadas reminded everyone of those ones in Antigua! This quick and easy breakfast is also a great way to use leftover ingredients from the previous night’s dinner – like our creamy Refried Black Beans. Top this with our Homemade Salsa, Guacamole or Pico de Gallo, and you’ll be in heaven.
