Ingredients
  

8 small corn tortillas

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1 cup cooked breakfast sausage or crumbled tofu (for a delicious vegetarian option)

4 large eggs

1/2 cup milk (or your choice of non-dairy milk)

1 cup diced roasted Hatch green chiles (canned or fresh)

1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

1/4 teaspoon paprika

Salt and pepper, to taste

1/4 cup chopped green onions (for garnish)

Fresh cilantro leaves (for garnish)

Avocado slices (for serving)

Salsa (for serving)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it's hot and ready for baking.

    Prepare the Tortillas: Lightly grease a muffin tin with cooking spray. Carefully press each corn tortilla into the cups of the muffin tin, molding them to form taco shells. For added sturdiness, consider layering a second tortilla for each cup.

      Layer the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked breakfast sausage (or crumbled tofu), roasted Hatch green chiles, and half of the shredded cheddar cheese. Mix well, then evenly distribute this flavorful mixture into the taco cups.

        Whisk the Eggs: In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, ground cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper until the mixture is smooth and homogenous.

          Assemble the Tacos: Carefully pour the egg mixture over the filling in each tortilla cup, taking care not to overfill. Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese on top of each filled taco.

            Bake the Tacos: Place the muffin tin in your preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the egg is fully set and the cheese is deliciously bubbly and golden brown.

              Garnish and Serve: Once baked, remove the breakfast tacos from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes. Gently lift them out of the muffin tin and place them on a serving platter. Garnish generously with chopped green onions and fresh cilantro. Serve alongside slices of avocado and a bowl of salsa for dipping.
