Steps

1. Chop and cook18 min
On a cutting board, dice the tomato, onion, and ham into small cubes. Then, in a skillet with oil, add the diced vegetables and ham, and cook for about 10 to 15 minutes until the tomato releases all its juices.
2. Cut plantains2 min
Cut your plantain crosswise and fry it in plenty of oil or lard until it is golden brown.
3. Fry your tortilla5 min
After frying and removing the plantain, fry your tortilla until it's golden brown.
4. Sauce5 min
Your sauce consists of the tomatoes, onion, and ham you’ve already cooked; you’ll just add a habanero chili along with all the juices from those ingredients (optional). Stir gently just to add flavor—be careful, because if the habanero bursts, your sauce will be very spicy. Finally, add your drained peas, cook for about 5 more minutes, and you’re done.
5. Fried Egg3 min
Add oil or butter to your skillet—whichever you prefer—then crack the egg into it and cook it, but make sure the yolk doesn't cook all the way; it should remain soft.
6. Prepare the dish5 min
Take your tostadas and spread a tablespoon of beans (optional if you don’t like beans) on top of one tostada, then place your fried eggs on top, and cover the eggs with the third tostada. Top it with the sauce you made, and place the plantains on the sides. That’s it—your dish is ready. Enjoy!
