4 (8 in) flour tortillas
2 large eggs
6 large egg whites
1/2 (4.25 oz) can chopped green chiles
1 scallion, chopped
2 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh cilantro
   freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon unsalted butter
3 oz turkey or chicken breakfast sausage links, chopped or patties crumbled
1/2 cup shredded low-fat Monterey Jack, Cheddar, or mixed "Mexican" cheeses
2 tablespoons jarred salsa, plus more for garnish if desired
   Hot sauce


Preheat oven to 350 F. Spread tortillas over a baking sheet and set aside

In a bowl, combine eggs, egg whites, green chiles, scallion, cilantro, and a pinch of black pepper. Whisk with a fork

Heat the butter in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook, stirring, until cooked, 2 to 3 minutes. Turn the heat to med-low. Put tortillas in the oven to warm. Add egg mixture to the pan and cook, stirring often, until the eggs are set in curds, 1 1/2- 2 minutes. Remove from heat. Add cheese and stir.

Place warm tortillas on plates. Spoon eggs in a line down the center of each tortilla. Add about 1/2 tablespoon salsa. Fold in the top and bottom, then roll sides. Serve immediately with hot sauce and top with more salsa if desired.
