These Mini Egg Tortilla Cups are one of my go-to meal prep recipes! Made with all gluten-free ingredients and they’re packed with protein and veggies and are kid-approved.
I am hooked on making these tortilla egg cups guys. They are such an easy grab and go recipe that my entire family eats.
My kids love them, I love them and my husband devours them too. Plus I love that you can use any ingredients you have on hand to make them. Any tortillas, mix-in’s and cheese work! And they only take about 10 minutes to make in the oven so it’s a quick meal idea to make for everyone. And the leftovers stay good in the fridge for up to 5 days.
These will become a staple in your home for easy and quick meal ideas to prep for the week!
Tip: use any veggies or mix-in’s you have on hand in this recipe! Or whatever you and your family love in omelette form
What ingredients you need to make tortilla egg cups:
- 8-inch tortillas – I used these almond flour ones but you can use any you want
- Eggs – I don’t have a sub for the eggs here 🙂 They are a key ingredient! I haven’t tried with only egg whites but it would work – just need more than called for here
- Chopped veggies of choice – I used spinach and broccoli in these but peppers and onions would be great too
- Shredded cheese – you can use cheddar, mozzarella, anything! Even a dairy-free cheese works well
How to make mini tortilla egg cups:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees and grease a muffin tray well
- Cut small rounds from each tortilla that fit your muffin slots (you should get 3 rounds per tortilla)
- Add tortilla rounds to muffin tray and form to fit the muffin slot
- Mix together the eggs, veggies, cheese and spices in a large bowl
- Then fill each muffin slot with egg batter
- Bake in oven for 10-12 minutes (they should brown slightly on top)
- Gently remove the tortilla pizzas from the muffin tray using a knife or spatula and enjoy
Tips for success making mini tortilla egg cups:
- These are such a good recipe to meal prep! You can use any veggies you have on hand. Mix it with eggs and the cheese and that’s all you need
- I love these as a grab and go snack too. We pack them for the park, playdates, anything!
- I keep these in the fridge for up to 5 days and reheat in the microwave to warm up
- If your kids don’t love eggs usually, I’d recommend eating them in this form! With ketchup or honey mustard for dipping too!

4.16.25 Curious about filling large catering tin foil pan and reheating these after freezing–I will unthaw. Eggs are crazy expensive, but had planned to buy mini quiche from Sam’s for daughters shower. They have quit carrying. GFS was more than double price. I also need GF option. So I’ve experimented with this recipe (I also add meat), frozen and reheated just a few. I’m glad to report they do not seem to get soggy. I used corn and flour tortillas. I cut them in half, cut a slit on flat side toward rounded edge, make a cone of sorts, them fit into muffin tins. No wastage of tortillas! You sometimes get leakage out of the bottom, but they still seem to come out of the muffin tin really well. I have to make about 100. Today’s the day for baking!
