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 prepared salsa

1/4 cup reduced-fat sour cream

 

Preparation

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.
