Recipe of the Week

Looking for low fat recipes? Check this blog every Monday for my recipe of the week. This week I have a real treat. A low-fat, high energy, breakfast burrito! Check it out:

1 10-in. whole wheat flour tortilla 3 egg whites (or 1/4 cup egg substitute) 1/2 oz. (2 Tbsp.) shredded, part-skim mozzarella cheese* 1/2 slice lean ham, chopped 2 Tbsp. salsa Nonstick spray Salt and Pepper Spray pan with nonstick vegetable spray, and add eggs. Cook for two minutes, then remove eggs from pan and spoon onto the tortilla. Sprinkle with cheese and ham. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Roll tortilla and fillings up "burrito style," wrap in a paper towel, and microwave for 10 seconds. Serve with salsa. Serves 1. *You can use other low-fat cheeses if you prefer. Look for cheese with 5 grams of fat or less per one-ounce serving. Nutritional Information: (per serving) Protein: 21.5 g Fiber: 5 g Carbs: 43 g Fat Total: 10.4 g Saturated Fat: 3 g
