Tortilla Cupcakes With Mexican-Flavored Eggs
- Nonstick cooking spray
- 4 (5-inch) corn or wheat tortillas
- 1 scallion, chopped
- 1/4 cup chopped bell pepper
- 4 large eggs
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 4 tablespoons grated cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese
- 4 tablespoons mild, medium, or hot salsa
- Toppings:
- Sour cream
- Chopped avocado
- Pitted black olives
- Chopped tomato
- Salsa or hot sauce
- Preheat the oven to 350u0b0.
- Spray 4 muffin cups and fill empty cups with water. Place 1 tortilla in each muffin cup and fit it into the mold, creating a hollow.
- Coat a medium skillet with cooking spray. Add the chopped scallion and bell pepper and cook over medium heat for about 4 minutes, or until softened.
- Meanwhile, whisk the eggs with salt and pepper to taste; cook, stirring the entire time. Sprinkle in the cheese and cook about 3 more minutes, until the eggs are set but still a bit moist. (They will firm up in the oven.)
- Spoon the eggs into each tortilla and top each with 1 tablespoon of salsa. Bake 6 to 8 minutes, or until the eggs are hot and firm and the tortilla is warm.
- Remove from the oven and let cool. Carefully lift the tortilla "cupcake" out of the mold.
- Place each of the toppings in small bowls and let everyone choose the ones they want.
- How kids can help: Fit tortillas into the muffin molds; place toppings in small bowls.
