Ingredients
  

10 small corn tortillas

1 cup cooked and crumbled breakfast sausage (can substitute with plant-based sausage)

6 large eggs

1/4 cup milk (or your choice of non-dairy milk)

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1 cup diced hatch green chiles (fresh or roasted)

1/2 cup diced onion

1/2 cup diced tomatoes

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

Salt and pepper, to taste

Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Optional: Sour cream or Greek yogurt (for serving)

Instructions
 

Preheat Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it reaches temperature while you prepare the ingredients.

    Sauté the Vegetables: In a medium skillet, drizzle a small amount of olive oil and heat it over medium heat. Once hot, add the diced onion and sauté for about 4-5 minutes, or until translucent. Next, add the diced hatch chiles and tomatoes. Sauté the mixture for another 2-3 minutes, just until heated through. Remove the skillet from heat and set it aside.

      Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, crack the 6 large eggs and add the milk, along with the garlic powder, ground cumin, salt, and pepper. Whisk everything together until fully combined and frothy. Gently fold in the crumbled sausage, the sautéed vegetables, and half of the shredded cheese until evenly distributed.

        Assemble the Tacos: Take a muffin tin and lightly spray each cup with cooking spray to prevent sticking. Carefully press each corn tortilla into a muffin cup, forming a small cup shape. Fill each tortilla cup generously with the egg mixture, being cautious not to overfill, as the egg will expand during baking.

          Bake: Place the prepared muffin tin into the preheated oven. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the egg is set and the tortillas have developed a slightly crispy texture.

            Add Toppings: Once baked, carefully remove the muffin tin from the oven. Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese on top of each taco. Return to the oven for an additional 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, creating an enticing golden layer.

              Garnish and Serve: Allow the tacos to cool for a minute before gently removing them from the muffin tin. Serve the breakfast tacos warm, garnished with freshly chopped cilantro and a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt, if desired.
