Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

4 (1-ounce) slices Canadian bacon
4 corn tortillas (6-inch diameter)
8 egg whites or 4 large eggs
1 cup Easy Sofrito Sauce, hot
1/4 cup shredded low-fat pepper Jack cheese
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro, for garnish

Instructions

In a small nonstick skillet, warm the Canadian bacon over medium heat until just warmed through. Transfer the bacon to a plate and cover to keep warm.
In the same skillet, warm each tortilla over medium heat for about 30 seconds per side. Cover to keep warm.
Coat a nonstick skillet with cooking oil spray. Add the egg whites or whole eggs and cook without stirring, for 2 minutes, or until nearly set. Turn the eggs with a silicone spatula and finish cooking, about 1 minute longer.
To serve, place a warm tortilla on a plate and top with 1 slice of Canadian bacon. Place 2 egg whites or a single egg on top of the bacon. Top the egg(s) with 1/4 cup hot sofrito sauce and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of cheese. Garnish with the cilantro.
