Breakfast for Dinner Part 2 - Country Egg Tortilla Cups

Dinner can get real boring, real quick and that's why I like to switch things up as much as possible. One way is to make breakfast for dinner. I love it because my kids think of it as an extra treat. I love it, because it's super easy to make. You almost always have all of your ingredients on hand. Take this south of the boarder twist on breakfast with a recipe for Country Egg Tortilla Cups:
4 Old El Paso® flour tortillas (6 inches in diameter) Cooking spray
2 cups frozen southern-style hash brown potatoes
1/4 cup chopped green bell pepper
3 eggs or 1 cup fat-free cholesterol-free egg product
1/4 cup milk
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup shredded Cheddar cheese (3 ounces)
1/4 cup sour cream
Old El Paso® salsa (any variety), if desired
- 1 Heat oven to 400°F. Turn four 6-ounce custard cups upside down onto cookie sheet. Spray both sides of each tortilla lightly with cooking spray. Place tortilla over each cup, gently pressing edges toward cup. Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until light golden brown. Remove tortillas from cups; place upright on serving plates.
- 2 Spray 8- or 10-inch nonstick skillet with cooking spray; heat over medium heat. Cook potatoes and bell pepper in skillet about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are light brown. Mix eggs, milk and salt; stir into potatoes. Cook about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until eggs are almost set.
- 3 Spoon one-fourth of the egg mixture into each tortilla cup. Top with cheese and sour cream. Serve immediately with salsa.

We love making breakfast pizzas.
Quoting amyjane22:
We like to have breakfast pizza, casserole, biscuits & gravy, pancakes & sausage.... Pretty much any breakfast for dinner :)
We have breakfast for dinner several times a month. Eggs, grits, toast, hashbrowns. All those yummy things.
We had egg sandwiches for dinner last night. Quicky and easy with a side of fruit.
This looks so good. My husband sometimes will cook pancakes for dinner. I also like omelets.
