Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices Turkey bacon
- 6 large Egg whites
- 0.5 cup Reduced-fat cheddar cheese
- 4 small Corn tortillas
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 as needed Cooking spray
- 2 tablespoons Fresh chives
- 0.5 cup Salsa
Instructions
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly coat it with cooking spray.
Cook the turkey bacon slices in the skillet for about 3-4 minutes on each side until crisp. Once cooked, remove from the skillet and set aside on a paper towel to drain excess fat.
In the same skillet, leaving a bit of the bacon drippings for flavor, lower the heat to medium-low and pour in the egg whites. Season with salt and black pepper.
Cook the egg whites gently, stirring slowly with a spatula until they are fully cooked but still moist, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.
Warm the corn tortillas on a separate dry skillet or directly over a gas flame until soft and pliable, then wrap them in a clean kitchen towel to keep warm.
Assemble each taco by placing a portion of cooked egg whites onto a tortilla, followed by a slice of turkey bacon (cut into pieces) and a sprinkle of reduced-fat cheddar cheese.
Top with fresh chives and a couple of spoonfuls of salsa for added flavor.
Serve the tacos immediately while warm and enjoy your low-fat, delicious breakfast!
