Cooking Steps

Make Tortilla Cups
1

• Adjust rack to middle position (middle and top positions for 12 servings) and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Generously coat a standard 12-cup muffin tin (two muffin tins for 12) with nonstick cooking spray. • Cut four evenly spaced 1-inch slits around the edge of each tortilla. • Wrap tortillas in damp paper towels and microwave until warmed through and pliable, 30-60 seconds. • Press tortillas into wells of prepared muffin tin to form tortilla cups. TIP: Keep the pleats of the tortillas above the edge of the wells to prevent any egg mixture from leaking out.

Mix Filling
2

• Place 2 TBSP butter (4 TBSP for 12 servings) in a large microwave-safe bowl. Microwave until melted, 30-60 seconds. • Whisk in eggs*, one packet of sour cream, ¼ cup water, and pepper until thoroughly combined (use two packets of sour cream and ½ cup water for 12).

Assemble & Bake
3

• Evenly divide egg mixture between tortilla cups. (We used about 3 TBSP per cup.) • Add 1 TBSP enchilada sauce (you’ll use the rest in Step 5) to each tortilla cup. Sprinkle evenly with Mexican cheese blend and Monterey Jack. • Bake on middle rack until egg mixture is set and cheese is golden brown, 15-18 minutes. (For 12 servings, bake on middle and top racks, swapping positions halfway through.) TIP: If the tortilla edges start to brown too quickly, loosely cover muffin tin with foil.

Prep Scallions
4

• While tostada cups bake, wash and dry produce. • Trim and thinly slice scallions. • Transfer to a small bowl and loosely cover scallions with a damp paper towel. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Finish Tostada Bites
5

• Once tostada bites are done baking, immediately top each with 1 tsp remaining enchilada sauce. Let cool in muffin tin for 5 minutes.

Serve or Stash
6

• To serve, divide tostada bites between plates; evenly top with remaining sour cream and sprinkle with scallions. To stash, see “Reheat & Eat” instructions at the top left.

Wash hands and surfaces after handling raw eggs. Consuming raw or undercooked eggs may increase your risk of foodborne illness.

Review summary

Updated on Dec 2025
  • Flavor: Many loved the taste, especially with enchilada sauce adding nice flavor. Some found it bland; consider adding hot sauce or extra seasoning.
  • Ease of prep: Generally easy to make, though prep time varied. The tortilla cups were clever and simple to form.
  • Suggestions: Try adding bacon bits, diced tomatoes, or extra scallions for more substance and crunch. Consider using corn tortillas for a different twist.
  • Leftovers: Mixed experiences with reheating — some found them even better the next day, while others preferred them fresh.
  • Texture: A few noted issues with soggy bottoms or crispy tops when reheated. For best results, follow the provided reheating instructions carefully.
  • Cooking tips: Some needed longer baking times than instructed. If edges brown too quickly, cover with foil while baking.

It was good and I liked the tortilla cups idea. But it took WAY longer to prep than 5 minutes! And the egg didn't cook through really, even when the tortilla was browning quite a bit. Also wasn't a fan of the enchilada sauce so next time I'd use something else instead.

These were SO GOOD! I had to wait a week before fixing it due to some things that came up and everything, minus the spring onion, stayed fresh. PLUS it was a fun and surprisingly easy dish to make and reheating was a breeze with their instructions.

Needs a bit more egg custard but really good, pretty easy to make (when the tortillas are heated), and travelled and reheated nicely.
