| Recipe Ingredients | |
| 4 9-inch whole-wheat flour tortillas | |
| 4 large eggs | |
| 1/8 teaspoon salt | |
| Freshly ground pepper to taste | |
| 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil | |
| 1 4-ounce can chopped green chiles | |
| 1/2 cup grated Cheddar or pepper Jack cheese | |
| 2 cups Black Bean & Tomato Salsa or prepared salsa | |
| 1/4 cup reduced-fat sour cream | |
Recipe Directions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Wrap tortillas in foil and heat in the oven for 5 to 10 minutes.
- 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.
- 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.

minutes, or until warm.
