Migas - Fit Foodie Style

One of my favorite restaurants in my hometown of Louisville, KY is the North End Cafe. They make the BEST pancakes ever! But if I'm in the mood for eggs I almost always go for the Migas.
Apparently Migas means crumbs in English and there are several different versions. The one at North End is 3 scrambled eggs, blue corn tortilla chips, jalapenos & cheddar cheese served with salsa and home fries. Here is my Fit Foodie version:


MIGAS

3 egg whites - scrambled
2 pieces center cut bacon (Vegetarians - omit or use veggie bacon)
2 tbsp. diced onion
2 tbsp. diced red pepper
2 tbsp. diced green pepper
2 tbsp. diced yellow pepper
1 broken up hard taco shell corn tortilla (or crushed tortilla chips totaling 55 calories)
1/2 oz. shredded Cabot Light Pepper Jack cheese (or any cheese totaling 35 calories)
4-5 pickled jalapeno rings

Cook your bacon and drain well. If you are using pork bacon leave a little bacon grease (just enough to coat the pan) and add peppers and onions. Cook until onions are translucent. Tear the bacon into chunks and add back into pan. Scramble 3 egg whites and season with salt and pepper. Add crushed tortilla and jalapeno to pan with bacon, peppers and onions. Cook for one minute. Add in eggs and scramble into mixture. When eggs are almost done add in shredded cheese, remove from heat and place a lid on to melt the cheese.

One hefty serving - 200 calories!

You may serve with salsa, guacamole or sour cream!
