These are easy and versatile. You can also add bacon or sausage. Use egg beaters or egg whites too. The taste reminds me of Chile Rellenos. This recipe is for 12 tortilla cups but you can easily make it smaller, just use 1 egg per cup.

Yum! This recipe is perfect if you're hosting a buffet breakfast or brunch. It's a healthier breakfast option. You can bake a bunch of these and people can grab their individual serving. We did add bacon when testing and loved the smoky flavor. We loved the mix of cilantro, with green chilis and cheese. Cumin flavor stands out too. One of these is very filling.

How To Make green chili breakfast tortilla cups

Test Kitchen Tips

We'd recommend putting a baking sheet under the cupcake tins while baking. Ours did leak a little while baking.

1
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray a non-stick muffin pan with cooking spray.

2
Heat tortillas in microwave for 45 seconds.
3
Mix together eggs, cilantro, cumin, and lemon or lime pepper seasoning salt.
4
Place one tortilla in each muffin cup, folding in to fit.
5
Place about 1/2 ounce of cheese in the bottom.
6
If using meat, sprinkle a small amount into the tortillas.
7
Place a small amount of green chilies on top of the cheese.
8
Pour egg mixture on top leaving a little room.
9
Top with remainder of the ounce of cheese.
10
Bake at 400 degrees for 15-20 minutes. Let cool a little bit before eating, they are really hot.
