Ingredients

Cooking spray

4 spray(s)

Corn tortilla

4 tortilla(s), medium, 6-inches each

Canned diced tomatoes

14 oz, with green pepper, celery, and onion

Canned black beans

15 oz, rinsed and drained

Canned diced green chiles

4 oz

Hot pepper sauce

3 Tbsp, or to taste

Ground cumin

¾ tsp

Cilantro

3 Tbsp, chopped (divided)

Egg

4 large egg(s)

Weight Watchers Reduced-fat Mexican style shredded cheese

¼ cup(s)

Instructions

1

Place the oven rack in the center of the oven; preheat the oven to 425ºF. Lightly spray both sides of the tortillas with cooking spray. Place 4 inverted custard cups on a baking sheet, and drape a tortilla over each to give it a bowl shape. (You may also use an inverted 12-cup muffin pan, placing the tortillas over alternate cups.) Bake until the tortillas are crisped and lightly golden around the edges, 10 minutes. Remove the tortillas and set them on a rack to cool.

2

Combine the diced tomatoes, beans, chiles, pepper sauce, cumin, and 2 tablespoons of the cilantro in an ovenproof skillet. Bring to a boil over medium heat, reduce the heat to low, and simmer until the flavors are blended, 4 minutes. Break the eggs one at a time, on top of the sauce, spacing them evenly apart.

3

Immediately place the pan in the oven and bake until the eggs are almost set, 6–8 minutes. Sprinkle the cheese on top of the eggs and bake until melted, 1 minute. To serve, place the tortilla cups on serving plates and spoon the eggs and sauce into the tortilla cups. Garnish with the remaining tablespoon of chopped cilantro and serve immediately.

Yields 1 filled tortilla cup.
