Ingredients

Nonstick cooking spray
¼ cup refrigerated or frozen egg product, thawed
1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon salt-free southwest chipotle seasoning blend
1 whole-wheat flour tortilla
2 tablespoons shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
2 tablespoons canned no-salt-added black beans, rinsed and drained
2 tablespoons refrigerated fresh pico de gallo or chopped tomato plus more for garnish

Steps:

Coat a medium nonstick skillet with nonstick cooking spray. Preheat skillet over medium heat. Add egg to hot skillet; sprinkle with seasoning blend. Cook over medium heat, without stirring, until egg begins to set on the bottom and around edge. Using a spatula or a large spoon, lift and fold the partially cooked egg so that the uncooked portion flows underneath. Continue cooking over medium heat for 30 to 60 seconds or until egg is cooked through but is still glossy and moist.
Immediately spoon cooked egg onto one side of the tortilla. Top with cheese, beans and the 2 tablespoons pico de gallo. Fold tortilla over filling to cover; press gently.
Wipe out the same skillet with a paper towel. Coat skillet with cooking spray. Preheat skillet over medium heat. Cook filled tortilla in hot skillet about 2 minutes or until tortilla is browned and filling is heated through, turning once. If desired, top with additional pico de gallo.

SOUTHWESTERN FRITTATA

Southwestern Frittata image

This recipe is a modified version of the Southwestern Frittata served at the Joshua Grindle Inn. A wonderful B&B in Mendocino, Ca. I have modified it to more suit my family's tastes. Prepare the night before, and just pop into the oven in the morning for a special breakfast. We always have this as Christmas breakfast. It is in the oven baking while we open presents. You can use egg substitute, but if you do, add additional 1/2 to 1 cup grated cheese. Also, if you like spicy, increase green chilies to 14 oz, and use 1/2 teaspoon Cumin. You can also use corn tortillas instead of the whole wheat.

Ingredients

4 slice turkey bacon or other meat, diced
4-6 large eggs (I combined with Eggbeaters- not necessary)
1/2 medium bell pepper, diced
1/2 medium onion, diced
1 Tbsp fresh rosemary, minced
2 medium tomatoes, chopped
3 medium flour tortillas
2 Tbsp salsa or more (we made ours)
3/4 c cheese, shredded (Colby jack) (your choice)
1/4 tsp garlic salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp salt
2 Tbsp olive oil, light
2 Tbsp butter, unsalted

Steps:

1. Saute on medium-high heat: Turkey bacon, bell pepper, onion, rosemary, garlic salt, pepper, and salt in olive oil for about 7-min; cover with a lid for 3-min.
2. Place into a bowl and stir in salsa.
3. Using the same pan, lower heat to medium heat, add butter, spread around pan, lay 1 tortilla in the bottom.
4. Add cheese top of tortilla.
5. Then add half of the meat mixture on top of cheese.
6. Add more cheese.
7. Then another tortilla. Repeat another layer of cheese, meat mixture, cheese, and last tortilla. (Cheese acts as adhesive to keep quesadilla together.)
8. Spread fresh tomatoes over top of quesadilla.
9. Whip eggs with 2-tablespoons water. Pour over the quesadilla and tomatoes; cover pan.
10. Turn the burner down to high-low heat; cook until egg is set.
