Ingredients
  

4 large eggs

1/4 cup milk

1 cup bell peppers (variety of colors, diced)

1/2 cup red onion (finely chopped)

1 cup baby spinach (roughly chopped)

1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or pepper jack)

1/2 teaspoon cumin

1/2 teaspoon paprika

Salt and pepper, to taste

6 small whole wheat tortillas

Olive oil or cooking spray (for greasing)

Fresh cilantro (for garnish, optional)

Salsa (for serving, optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a muffin tin with olive oil or cooking spray.

    Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined. Add cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper; mix well.

      Sauté the Vegetables: In a non-stick skillet, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced bell peppers and chopped red onion, sautéing for about 3-4 minutes until they start to soften. Stir in the spinach and cook for an additional minute until wilted. Remove from heat.

        Combine Ingredients: In the bowl of whisked eggs, gently fold in the sautéed vegetables and shredded cheese until evenly distributed.

          Assemble the Burrito Bites: Cut the tortillas into quarters. Press each tortilla quarter into the muffin tin to form small cups, forming a base for the egg mixture.

            Fill the Tortilla Cups: Spoon the egg and veggie mixture into each tortilla cup, filling them about three-quarters full as they will rise during baking.

              Bake: Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the egg is set and the tops are lightly golden.

                Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes. Carefully pop the breakfast burrito bites out of the muffin tin. Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired and serve warm with salsa on the side.
