Step 2 - 🌱🥚🍳

Stir in half of the finely chopped chives into the eggs. Continue cooking them until done to your liking.

Step 5 - 🥚🌱🌮

Evenly spoon the chive-infused scrambled eggs amongst the tostadas.

Additional

For a vegan twist, swap eggs with tofu and skip queso fresco. You can always play with heat level by adding more chipotle sauce. This dish turns regular eggs into a gorgeous meal that promises to wake up your taste buds any chilly morning.
