2 whole Large Flour Tortillas
1/2 cups Canned Black Beans, Drained
16 ounces, weight Blue Crab Meat
1/2 teaspoons Orange Zest
4 whole Eggs
3 Tablespoons Milk
2 pinches Salt
2 pinches Pepper
1/2 cups Salsa
1/2 cups Shredded Cheddar Cheese

1
Preheat oven to 375 F.
2
Spray 4 of the cups of a standard size cupcake pan with cooking spray. Cut each of the 2 tortillas in 1/2 using clean kitchen scissors. Bring the ends of each tortilla half together to create a cone shape with the tops flaring out and stuff them neatly into the greased cups.
3
Sprinkle a couple of tablespoons of black beans on the bottom of each cone then top with generous pinches of crab meat. Add a pinch of freshly grated orange zest to the top of each.
4
In a small bowl, beat eggs. Then add the milk, salt and pepper and beat with a fork until the yolks are well blended with the whites and the milk. Divide the egg mixture among the four cupcake cups.
5
Top with a couple of teaspoons of salsa and finish with a good sprinkling of shredded cheese.
6
Crack a bit more fresh pepper on top and pop the pan into the hot oven. Bake for about 15-20 minutes.
7
Finish with just a minute under the broiler to crisp up the tortilla tops. Take care not to burn them! Then remove the pan from the oven.
8
Pop these li'l guys out of the pan and serve with sour cream, guacamole with freshly brewed coffee.
