Mexican Scrambled Eggs recipe

I'm sorry...that lobotomy they did on me without my knowledge during my WLS has left many aftereffects.... I can't remember who it was, but someone was asking for a recipe to tweak scrambled eggs, and I keep forgetting to post this (found it in my papers today). It sounds yummy...all critiques are encouraged!! Mexican Scrambled Eggs 1/2 cup chopped onion 1 tablespoon reduced-calorie margarine 1 can (4 ounces) diced mild green chilies, drained 1 fresh tomato, diced 4 eggs 2 egg whites 1/3 cup low fat skim milk 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder 1/4 teaspoon Sweet'N Low granulated sugar substitute 2 ounces reduced-fat cheddar cheese, shredded Chopped green onion and minced fresh parsley for garnish 1. In shallow 8- or 9-inch round microwave dish, cook onions and margarine, covered, on high power 2 minutes. Stir in chilies and tomato; cook, uncovered, 1 minute. 2. In medium size bowl, beat together eggs, egg whites, milk, garlic powder and Sweet'N Low; pour over vegetables. Continue cooking, uncovered, 4 to 5 minutes, stirring frequently to move mixture from outside of dish toward center. 3. Just before eggs are firm, sprinkle with cheese. Do not overcook, as mixture will continue to cook after being removed from microwave. 4. Sprinkle with green onion and parsley. Serve immediately.

Yummmm! That sounds so good, and eggs have really not been sounding good to me! I found some low carb wheat tortillas the other day at the store - I bet this would make a good breakfast taco!! How you been, sweetie? Email me when you get a sec! -Wendy

are you eating tortillas? Do you cook them to make them crisp? When did you start eating them?

I haven't had them *yet*, but I think I'd be OK with them. Pre-op, I'd get the tortilla warm by putting it in a frying pan big enough to lay the tortilla flat and warm it up on both sides, then put the egg (or whatever) in the tortilla, roll and eat. The low carb wheat tortillas I found are from Mission (brand name). They're really large, so I know I couldn't eat a whole one. Could probably eat about 1/4 of it - then give it to my 8 year old to finish! I think I'm going to try this recipe of Kimmer's Saturday morning. Sounds too good not to try! -W-

I love eggs even more now than I did. Thxs for the recipe!!! Good to see ya on the boards. The Irish Lassie

God bless you. I am one of those people who is not having luck eating very many things, but I can eat eggs, so I'm trying this! Gano

This does sounnd good. For the cooking challenged (like myself), I just add salsa & cheese to the eggs as I scramble them and it's great!! mgm -33
