Scramble ingredients:
- Pam pan spray
- 4 egg whites
- 1/4 chopped jalapeno
- 1/4 chopped yellow onion
- 2 chopped white cap mushrooms
- 1/4 chopped red bell pepper
- 2 T chopped cilantro
- 2 Kraft singles
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp cumin
- 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper
Also:
- 2 slices of bread
- 4 thin tomato slices
- Sriracha or Tapatio hot sauce
Mock tortillas:
- Sprinkle chopped cilantro lightly onto two slices of bread
- flatten bread with a rolling pin or a glass and add to plate. These flat pieces of bread will serve as "mock tortillas". (Regular tortillas are higher in calories, sodium and fat)
Now for the cholo scramble:
- Whisk egg whites in a bowl with all spices for 5-7 seconds
- Spray pan with 1 second of cooking spray
- Heat pan over medium heat a bit then drop in jalapeno, red bell pepper and onion, stirring constantly until softened a bit
- Stir in the mushrooms and cilantro until softened
- Pour eggs into pan, lower heat and scramble eggs in with the cooked veggies
- When eggs are almost done, remove from heat and add one or two slices of cheese and stir in until eggs are done. (low-fat cheese may be used here)
- Plate eggs with the mock tortillas and serve with grilled tomatoes, cilantro, avocado, and hot sauce (if desired)
- Enjoy!
