Cook's Tip: Mexican-Style Beef Sausage: Combine 1 pound Ground Beef, 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar, 1-1/2 teaspoons dried oregano leaves, 1-1/2 teaspoons smoked paprika, 1-1/2 teaspoons chile powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon chipotle chile powder in large bowl, mixing lightly but thoroughly. For a more mild flavor, use less chipotle powder. Heat large nonstick skillet over medium heat until hot. Add sausage mixture; cook 8 to 10 minutes, breaking 1/2-inch crumbles and stirring occasionally.
Cooking times are for fresh or thoroughly thawed Ground Beef. Ground beef should be cooked to an internal temperature of 160°F. Color is not a reliable indicator of ground beef doneness. - Wipe same skillet with paper towel. Heat skillet on medium heat until hot. Coat skillet with cooking spray. Break each egg into small cup; add to skillet, one egg at a time. Cook 30 to 60 seconds or until edges turn white; reduce to low heat. Add 2 tablespoons water to skillet; cover and cook 4 to 6 minutes or until desired doneness of eggs are reached.
- Top each tostada with one egg. Divide beef mixture between tostadas; spooning around each egg. Serve with refried beans. Garnish with cheese, cilantro and sour cream, as desired.
