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
Directions
Step 1
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and spray lightly with olive oil spray.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
In the same skillet, add cherry tomatoes and sauté for 1 minute until slightly softened. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
Step 4
Lower the heat to medium-low, and spray the skillet again with a light coat of olive oil.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
Warm the whole wheat tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side or until pliable.
Step 7
Assemble the tacos by dividing the cooked egg whites evenly onto each tortilla.
Step 8
Top the egg whites with shredded low-fat cheddar cheese, crispy turkey bacon (cut into pieces), sliced avocado, and sautéed cherry tomatoes.
Step 9
Finish with a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.
Step 10
Serve immediately and enjoy your heart-healthy breakfast tacos!
