Introduction

I created this breakfast around a can of low-sodium, non-fat Enchilada sauce I discovered at WalMart. Once I got all the veggies in the pan, I realized there were a LOT, so I put half the mixture aside to scramble with the same 2 egg whites plus one egg. I've created the recipe as a double so you can make it once and eat it twice! Enjoy! All ingredients were found at WalMart. If you can find a lower sodium canned beans, even better! You could also add some pepper, red pepper, southwest seasoning to your liking! Lots of play with this one!

Ingredients

    2 Whole Eggs, large
    4 Egg Whites, large
    1/4 c. diced green bell pepper (or any color you like)
    1/4 c. diced onion
    1/2 c. chopped or sliced white mushrooms
    1 small to medium Roma tomato, seeded and diced
    1/2 c. frozen corn, thawed
    1/2 c. black beans, canned and rinsed well
    2 TBS. mild green chiles, canned
    2/3 c. shredded cheddar cheese (you can use low-fat if you can find it--I couldn't, unfortunately)
    1/2 c. Old Elpaso Enchilada sauce (canned)

Directions

In non-stick pan, sautee diced onion, pepper and mushroom with spray of Pam or a splash of water until they start to soften. Add diced tomato, corn, green chiles and beans until warmed through. Scramble egg whites and eggs together with a splash of water and scramble into mixture. Top with 2/3 cup shredded cheddar until melted. Divide mixture in half and top with 1/4 c. Enchilada sauce when ready to eat. Enjoy!

**Makes 2 servings**

There is a lot of room to play with this recipe. You can use all egg whites if you prefer, low-fat cheddar if you can find it, or other low-fat cheese. Add veggies you enjoy, eliminate ones you don't. I love the beans in the recipe, myself. Adds fiber and iron and taste great! You could add jalapenos, southwest seasonings, etc. to your liking. Mix it up and enjoy!
