This is my latest version of the egg cups that I keep on hand in the freezer for busy days, for early morning hike departures and for sustenance on road trips. Why street taco? Well, I would just call them taco egg cups but the fact that they have no tomatoes that they are more like the authentic street tacos you find at the taqueria or street vendor. ¡Qué delicioso!
I first made these right before I headed up to my North Coast Trail attempt and all I got was a picture of me eating them in the car while I waited for the ferry out of Vancouver to the island. I also ate them before getting on the water taxi to start my backpacking trip, but I’m not going to blame the outcome of the hike on these scrumptious bollos de huevos.

So, just like my other handheld breakfasts like Basil Sausage Egg Muffins and Superfood Breakfast Egg Cups , you want about 5 cups of goodies and 8 eggs, add some sea salt and fill your paper lined muffin tins (or grease with your favorite oil). Bake them in the oven 25-30 minutes or until the center doesn’t wiggle.
I really wanted to call these tortillas (in Spain, tortillas are quiches or omelettes, not a round, flat bread). But alas, unlike the tortilla espanola, mine does not have potatoes. Maybe I’ll try an sweet potato version next time. ¡Me encantan las papas dulces!
If you are going to freeze them, take them out of the liners first. It makes it much easier to reheat if you aren’t picking tiny pieces of paper out of your egg. Just sayin’.
