Makes 4 servings
ACTIVE TIME: 15 minutes
TOTAL TIME: 30 minutes
EASE OF PREPARATION: Easy
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
1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Wrap tortillas in foil and heat in the oven for 5 to 10 minutes.
2. 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.
3. To serve, divide eggs evenly among the tortillas. Sprinkle each with about 2 tablespoons cheese and roll up. Serve with salsa and sour cream.
