Ingredients
4 | (6-inch) organic corn tortillas | |
Natural oil cooking spray | ||
8 | large | egg whites or 1 cup 100% pasteurized liquid egg whites |
1/4 | tsp. | freshly ground black pepper |
1/8 | tsp. | sea salt |
3 | Tbsp. | shredded pepper jack or Monterey Jack cheese |
1/2 | Hass avocado, peeled, pitted, and diced | |
1/4 | cup | tomatillo (green) salsa |
1/4 | cup | fat-free plain Greek yogurt (or quark) |
1 | small | jalapeƱo pepper, seeded and minced |
1 | Tbsp. | chopped fresh cilantro |
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 475 F. Lightly coat both sides of the corn tortillas with cooking spray and place them on a baking sheet. Bake the tortillas until crisp and lightly browned, about 4 minutes per side. Remove the tortillas from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet.
- Meanwhile, place a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the egg whites and scramble them until done, about 5 minutes. Immediately stir in the pepper, salt, and cheese.
- Place a scoop of cheesy egg whites on top of each crisp tortilla. Top each with equal portions of the avocado, salsa, yogurt, jalapeño, and cilantro, and serve.
