Ranch-Style Breakfast Burrito with Two Onion Salsas
Ingredients
4 (8-inch) flour tortillas, preferably whole wheat or sprouted wheat
2 cups chopped onions
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 eggs
4 egg whites
1 cup chopped tomatoes
1/4 cup chopped cilantro or parsley
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Fresh Mango Salsa (recipe follows)
Avocado-Red Onion Salsa (recipe follows)
Fat-free sour cream or yogurt
Directions
Stack tortillas; wrap in foil. Heat in 350-degree oven for 10 to 15 minutes. Meanwhile, sauté onions in oil over medium heat for 5 minutes or until tender. Beat eggs, egg whites, tomatoes, cilantro and black pepper together in bowl with fork. Pour over onions and cook on medium heat, stirring with spatula until scrambled, about 6 minutes. Divide egg mixture onto warm tortillas. Roll tortillas around the egg mixture, tucking in ends to prevent filling from falling out. Serve with salsas and sour cream or yogurt.
Makes 4 servings.
