- 2 tablespoons Chopped cilantro
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons Chili powder
- 1 as needed Non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Lightly grease a standard 12-cup muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, salt, black pepper, and chili powder until well combined.
Divide the cooked chorizo evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 1/3 of the way.
Add an equal amount of black beans and diced red bell pepper into each muffin cup on top of the chorizo.
Pour the egg mixture equally into the muffin cups, filling them about 3/4 of the way.
Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top of the egg mixture in each muffin cup.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the egg cups are set and the tops are lightly golden.
Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the egg cups cool for 5 minutes before gently removing them with a small spatula or knife.
Garnish each egg cup with chopped cilantro and serve warm. Enjoy!
