250 Calorie Breakfast Taco

I love breakfast burritos and tacos but they can be a caloric nightmare with sausage, cheese, eggs, and a big tortilla.  I quickly put together a lighter option by using Southwestern Egg Beaters, low calorie cheese, and chicken sausage on a whole wheat tortilla.  It was very filling and tasted great.
There are so many heallthier sausages now, some made from chicken, others vegetarian, but all with low or no cholesterol.  The chicken sausage I used was nitrate free as well.  Egg whites can be substituted for egg beaters.

Recipe
1/2 cup Southwestern Egg Beaters (or egg whites)
1/2 Applegate Farms chicken apple sausage, sliced
1 slice (1 ounce) reduced fat colby jack cheese, shredded
1 whole wheat flour tortilla
salsa, if desired

Heat a skillet to medium high. Spray lightly with non-stick spray.  Add slices of sausage and brown on both sides.  Add eggs or Egg Beaters to pan and mix with sausage.  Add cheese.  Move to side of pan and place tortilla in pan.  Put mound of egg mixture on tortilla and fold in half.  Lightly brown tortilla on both sides.  Serve with salsa.
