Mini Tortilla Breakfast Cups

Do you love breakfast for lunch? Check out this idea, and use up those tortillas you have in your fridge!

Mini Tortilla Breakfast Cups

“Breakfast for Lunch” is one of my daughter’s favorite things in the world! Whether it’s pancakes, mini omelets, or french toast. It’s such a fun change-up from the traditional sandwich.

Fun and portable lunches like these are a staple of our MOMables lunch ideas!

What I love most about “Breakfast for Lunch” days is that I can usually accomplish it by simply using leftovers or making extra on purpose at breakfast time.

Our freezer is always stocked with pancakes ready to go with a simple reheat!

Our Mini Tortilla Breakfast Cups are simple to make and cook up quickly in the oven. Don’t you love those two words? Simple and Quick. Yes! 

Mini Tortilla Breakfast Cups

Use your preferred flour tortilla; in our case, we use gluten-free ones. It can also be easily adapted for those avoiding dairy. I eat mine topped with dairy-free shreds, and they’re delicious!

You can also choose your preferred meat, such as thinly sliced salami, ham, turkey, etc.

The mini size has kid appeal because they fit right into their hand and pop right into their mouths for a delicious lunch!

    I have teenage boys that I am trying to come up with health breakfast options that they can grab on the run , you have great ideas! Thank you! Would this work in a regular sized (not mini) muffin tin?

      Yes. Watch the bake time as it will be 15-18 minutes.

    What a geat idea. We like to have breakfast for dinner sometimes (we call it brinner). Tonight I made these (well, technically I did not follow this recipe, but just used it as the basis…I did ham slices in some, chopped ham in others; used regular sized muffin pan; used 3 eggs beaten with sour cream; used some chopped tomato in some) and my family liked it. My husband even said that he was skeptical at first…why not just scramble some eggs and wrap them in tortillas. But he said that after he tasted them, he was sold. Its really a different meal. Thanks for the recipe!

    Okay…this is brilliant! After burrito night, I usually end up with a few extra tortillas, so this is definitely a great way that I can use them up! I am sooo going to try this!

    I was having trouble getting the right amount of egg in each cup, so I used a medicine syringe! So easy, and you can measure perfectly.

    This look good, but I’m not comfortable with packing them warm and having them sit for 4 1/2-5 hours (my son’s lunch is at 12:30). Well beyond the recommended “2 hour” rule of letting food sit out. (I doubt anyone has lunch in that 2 hour window.)

    I’ll probably still make them to try, since they look good. Just not for school lunches, unless they are good cold.

      Marie, you can always send them in a thermos.

    These look great!! Can you make them the night before and how do you reheat them to take them for lunch? My son can’t reheat at school.

      you can definitely make them the night before and reheat them in the morning. My kids take them warm from the toaster oven and then eat them at room temperature.

    Love the idea, but I am pretty sure if my kiddo sees the meat in there, he will not eat it. Perhaps if I chunk up some Canadian Bacon and mix it in with the egg. Worth a try! If not, I am sure my hubby will eat them.!

    Yum! Forget the kids, I’m making these for me! Nom! Do you think it would work with a slice of cheese after the salami, before the egg? I’ve got some sliced havarti I’m thinking about here…

      Susanna, the “order” in which you put the ingredients is pretty flexible. :)
