Tex Mex egg muffins are a delicious, filling, and healthy breakfast or snack. They are light and fluffy, perfect for meal prep, and freezer-friendly.
Ingredients

- 1 + 1/2 cups shredded Tex Mex cheese, divided
- 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
- 1/4 cup green onion, finely chopped

- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 F. Grease a 12-cup silicone muffin pan generously with cooking spray oil.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, 1 cup cheese, bell pepper, green onion, and taco seasoning until smooth.
