Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Whole wheat tortillas
- 8 large Egg whites
- 4 slices Turkey bacon
- 0.5 cup Low-fat cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 medium Avocado, sliced
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 as needed Olive oil spray
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped
Instructions
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and spray lightly with olive oil spray.
Cook turkey bacon in the skillet for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until crispy. Set aside on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess fat.
In the same skillet, add cherry tomatoes and sauté for 1 minute until slightly softened. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
Lower the heat to medium-low, and spray the skillet again with a light coat of olive oil.
Pour the egg whites into the skillet, season with salt and black pepper, and cook gently, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are just set, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat.
Warm the whole wheat tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side or until pliable.
Assemble the tacos by dividing the cooked egg whites evenly onto each tortilla.
Top the egg whites with shredded low-fat cheddar cheese, crispy turkey bacon (cut into pieces), sliced avocado, and sautéed cherry tomatoes.
Finish with a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.
Serve immediately and enjoy your heart-healthy breakfast tacos!
