My tostadas feature the ingredients of a classic Denver omelet: ham, cheddar and green pepper. I also make a zesty Mexican version with chorizo and pepper jack and a Reuben with corned beef and Swiss. —Joi Sinclair, Atchison, Kansas

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped green pepper
  • 1/3 cup finely chopped onion
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper

  • 12 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup cubed fully cooked ham
  • 3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 6 tostada shells, warmed

Directions

  1. In a large nonstick skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add green pepper, onion, pepper and salt; cook and stir 2-3 minutes or until vegetables are crisp-tender.
