Directions
-
Heat vegetable oil in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
-
Add corn tortilla strips and chopped onion to the skillet. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the tortillas are crisp and golden.
-
In a bowl, whisk together the egg substitute and chopped jalapeño chili until well combined.
-
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the tortilla and onion mixture in the skillet.
-
Reduce the heat to medium. As the mixture begins to set at the bottom and sides, gently lift cooked portions with a spatula to allow uncooked egg to flow to the bottom.
-
Continue cooking without stirring for 4 to 5 minutes, or until the eggs are thickened throughout but still moist.
-
Serve immediately, topping each portion with salsa, lowfat sour cream, and chopped green onions.
