For those living in the southwest states, tortillas are a common substitute for a piece of bread. Everything from thin slices of grilled steak, chicken or pork to scrambled eggs with chunks of bell pepper, onions and shredded cheese for breakfast, tortillas and their fillings are a great form of take-out. For the calorie-conscious, one wheat tortilla has (130) calories and (2) grams of fat. Since these tortillas are made from low-cholesterol vegetable oils instead of lard like the flour ones, they are the right choice for the cholesterol wary.Breakfast Tacos(Serves 1-2)2-eggs or 2-Tablespoons of an substitute egg product1/2-cup onion, cut into thin slices1-small cooked potato, chop one-half and reserve the other½-cup red or green bell pepper, chopped1/4-cup shredded cheese, or low-fat cheese1-tsp. low-fat or fat-free butterSalt & pepper-to tasteGarnish: 1-teaspoon Picante SauceDirections: In a skillet; add a teaspoon of butter and season with the salt and the pepper.
