The "Cholo Scramble" w/ Mock Tortillas:

Simple but Delicious (and relatively healthy!)
Scramble: 224 calories
Mock tortillas: 80 calories each
1/4 Avocado: 75 calories

Not the prettiest plating here, but it's super tasty.

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:
  1. Sprinkle chopped cilantro lightly onto two slices of bread
  2. 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:
  1. Whisk egg whites in a bowl with all spices for 5-7 seconds
  2. Spray pan with 1 second of cooking spray
  3. Heat pan over medium heat a bit then drop in jalapeno, red bell pepper and onion, stirring constantly until softened a bit
  4. Stir in the mushrooms and cilantro until softened
  5. Pour eggs into pan, lower heat and scramble eggs in with the cooked veggies
  6. 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)
  7. Plate eggs with the mock tortillas and serve with grilled tomatoes, cilantro, avocado, and hot sauce (if desired)
  8. Enjoy!
