Ingredients

4 9-inch whole-wheat tortillas
4 large egg
⅛ tsp salt
freshly ground pepper to taste
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
4 oz chopped green chiles
½ cup grated cheddar or pepper Jack cheese
2 cup black bean & tomato salsa (recipe follows) or prepared salsa
¼ cup reduced-fat sour cream

Directions

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.

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.
