A healthy approach



They should just call me the breakfast and soup lady, since I really like cooking both. Here is another healthy breakfast for 2 that is quick and tasty. I found some  yellow corn tortillas that I really love. They taste like the fresh baked tortillas I had in New Mexico. The brand it La Tortilla Factory.  http://www.latortillafactory.com/products-8.aspx  It is a blend of wheat and corn. If you are in South Florida, I bought them at Fresh Market.  They are soft and pliable and don’t dry out quickly. Very tasty.  They are part of my motivation for making this recipe.


Southern California Tortillas

2 egg (I used high Omega eggs, buy egg whites would work just as well)
½ jalapeno chopped (more to taste)
2 slices low-fat sharp cheddar or co-jack cheese,  broken into pieces
A sprinkling of chili powder (Gebhradt https://www.mildbills.com/p-105-gebhardt-chili-powder.aspx  is my favorite)
2 Really good corn tortillas
6 thin slices avocado
4 grape tomatoes sliced or cut into 4ths
Cilantro sprigs if you have them
Cooking spray

Spray 2 custard size bowls with cooking spray. Put an egg in each bowl and beat them. Mix ½ the jalapeno and cheddar pieces with a sprinkling of chili powder in each bowl. Microwave egg mixture individually on medium power, checking at a minute and a half then every half minute until done. If you only have high power you can check the eggs at a minute and go from there until cooked but the eggs will be a little tougher. Alternatively you can scramble the eggs over medium heat on the stove.

Meanwhile warm the tortillas in a skillet or toaster oven.  When the eggs are done top each tortilla with the mini egg omelets sliced . Divide and top the eggs with the avocado, tomato and cilantro sprigs if desired. Add salt and pepper to taste. Wrap and eat with some fresh fruit and a cup of green tea.
