# Air Fryer Tuna Egg Tortilla Cups

These little cups turn a can of tuna and a tortilla into a hot, high-protein lunch: crisp tortilla shells baked in a muffin mold, holding sriracha-spiked tuna under a layer of set egg and melted cheese. Pressing each tortilla circle in with the base of a glass matters, since a snug fit keeps the sides from slumping while the egg cooks. After 15 minutes at 180°C (350°F) in the air fryer, the cheese should be golden and the egg firm to a gentle poke in the middle. No sriracha in the cupboard? Any hot sauce you like does the job. Serve over shredded cabbage.

## FAQ

### How do I shape the tortilla cups?

Cut circles with a cutter and press them into a muffin mold using the base of a glass. A short air-fry helps them hold the cup shape before filling.

### Can I make them ahead?

Yes — they keep 2–3 days refrigerated and reheat well in the air fryer. Great for meal-prep lunches or a protein-packed snack.

### What can I swap for tuna?

Canned salmon, shredded chicken or chickpeas all work. Keep the filling well-drained so the egg sets and the cups stay crisp.
