Press the tortillas into the cavities of the muffin tin. Tip: You will need to make afold on two sides to fit it in properly.
Place the beans, cilantro, cumin, and salt in a medium bowl. Mash the ingredients together with a fork. Divide the mixture evenly among the tortilla-filled muffin tin cavities.
Add a whole egg to each of the tortillas. Top each egg with cheese. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until yolk is soft, but whites have set. Remove from the oven and cool slightly on a wire rack. Remove tortilla cups from the muffin tin and top with pico de gallo and a splash of hot sauce.
