Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2
Cook the Johnsonville Hot & Spicy Breakfast Sausage Links according to package directions, then slice them into 1/4-inch pieces and set them aside.
3
On a clean surface, spray each flour tortilla on both sides with vegetable cooking spray. Cut the tortillas into fourths.
4
Spray a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray. Arrange three tortilla pieces in each muffin cup, pointing the ends downward, and overlapping the edges. Gently press the tortilla pieces into the bottom and sides of the muffin cups to form a cup shape, allowing the rounded edges to extend above the rim.

Evenly distribute 1 cup of shredded Mexican blend cheese among the tortilla-lined muffin cups. Next, add the sliced sausage on top of the cheese, followed by the remaining cheese.
6
In a separate bowl, whisk together the beaten eggs, finely chopped bell pepper, fresh cilantro, salt, and pepper until well blended.

Carefully pour the egg mixture into each tortilla cup, filling them about two-thirds full.
8
Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the tortilla cups are golden brown.

Once baked, let them cool for a moment before carefully removing the cups from the muffin tin. Serve them hot with your favorite salsa on the side.
