Ingredients

  • 6 large eggs
  • 3 large egg whites
  • 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
  • Dash cayenne pepper
  • 4 breakfast turkey sausage links, casings removed
  • 3/4 cup shredded reduced-fat Mexican cheese blend
  • 1 can (4 ounces) chopped green chiles, drained
  • 6 whole wheat tortillas (8 inches), warmed
  • 6 tablespoons salsa

Directions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk the eggs, egg whites, jalapeno and cayenne; set aside.
  2. Crumble sausage into a large skillet; cook over medium heat until no longer pink. Drain. Push sausage to the sides of pan. Pour egg mixture into center of pan. Cook and stir until set. Sprinkle with cheese and chiles. Remove from the heat; cover and let stand until cheese is melted.
  3. Place 1/3 cup mixture off center on each tortilla. Fold sides and end over filling and roll up. Top with salsa.
Peppers (Hot)
Wear disposable gloves when cutting hot peppers; the oils can burn skin. Avoid touching your face.
