Low Carb Breakfast Burrito

6 Tbsp egg whites (equals 2 eggs, separated)
1 Tbsp favorite salsa
1 Tbsp finely shredded Cheddar cheese or Parmesan cheese
1 small whole wheat or low-carb tortilla

Spray a small microwave-safe bowl with cooking spray or lightly coat with olive oil.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg whites, salsa, and cheese, then pour into the oiled bowl.
Microwave on HIGH for 1 1/2 minutes (will vary depending on microwave.)
Remove when egg mixture is solid.
Spoon egg mixture onto a small tortilla and roll up.  Serve with a little more salsa if desired.
If you're on the road, many hotel rooms have microwaves.  With just a few ingredients, you can mix up a quick, healthy breakfast.
You can use whole eggs if you wish, or you can use Egg Substitute.
If you can't find whole wheat or low-carb tortillas where you are, don't worry. The carb level isn't terrible.  Just read the nutrition level on your tortilla.  Of course, you can skip the tortilla entirely and just serve as is.
Serves 1.
