Recipe Ingredients
|
| |
4 9-inch whole-wheat flour tortillas |
| |
4 large eggs |
| |
1/8 teaspoon salt |
| |
Freshly ground pepper to taste |
| |
1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil |
| |
1 4-ounce can chopped green chiles |
| |
1/2 cup grated Cheddar or pepper Jack cheese |
| |
2 cups Black Bean & Tomato Salsa (recipe follows) or prepared salsa |
| |
1/4 cup reduced-fat sour cream |
Recipe Directions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Wrap tortillas in foil and heat in the oven for 5 to 10 minutes.
- Blend eggs, salt and pepper in a medium bowl with a fork until blended. Heat oil in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Add
chiles and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add eggs and cook, stirring slowly with a wooden spoon or heatproof rubber spatula, until soft,
fluffy curds form, 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 minutes.
- To serve, divide eggs evenly among the tortillas. Sprinkle each with about 2 tablespoons cheese and roll up. Serve with salsa and sour
cream.
Chipotle peppers are smoked jalapenos with a fiery taste that are canned in adobo sauce. Look for them in the Hispanic section of large
supermarkets and in specialty stores.
Two Easy Ways to Heat Tortillas:
Microwave: Stack 4 tortillas between damp paper towels and microwave on high for 30 seconds, or until hot and pliable.
Oven: Preheat oven to 300°F. Stack tortillas (about 4 in a batch) and wrap tightly in foil. Place in oven for 5 to 10 minutes, or until warm.
Health Advantages: low calorie, high fiber, high calcium.
