Showing You How To Give Up Sodium Without Giving Up Your Life
Breakfast Tacos
If, like me, you miss breakfast burritoes, but haven't learned to make your own tortillas and can't find any low sodium ones, here's an alternative. Take Taco Bell's advice and think outside the buns ... make breakfast tacos instead. Corn tortillas and taco shells are usually made without the added salt that's in flour tortillas. And here's an extra tip that you can use for your regular tacos too ... make them break-proof by putting the filling in before you heat them. The extra moisture will make them just soft enough not to fall in half.
8 Taco Shells
1 c Egg Substitute,Or 8 Eggs
1/4 c Salsa,Salt Free
1/4 c Swiss Cheese,Shredded
Scramble eggs, stirring in salsa and cheese when they are almost set. Divide into taco, sitting them upright in a baking disk. Microwave fro 1 minute or heat at 350 for 5 minutes.
