| 1 cup | 198g / 7oz | Egg Beaters® 99% egg substitute - equiv to 8 eggs |
| 4 | Eggs | |
| 2 tablespoons | 30ml | Water |
| Salt and pepper - to taste | ||
| 6 3/8 oz | 181g | Healthy Choice Lowfat Breakfast Sausage - 8 patties- 1 package |
| 1/2 | Onion - chopped | |
| 1/2 | Green pepper - chopped | |
| 10 | 98% Fatfree Flour Tortillas - 1 bag/Mission brand | |
| 1/2 cup | 73g / 2.6oz | Shredded lowfat cheese - *Sargento light |
| 1 | Butter - or margarine | |
| Cooking spray |
Saute onion and pepper in non-stick pan which has been sprayed
with desired flavor of non-stick spray. Add cut up Healthy Choice
sausage and stir into vegetable mixture. (No need to cook sausage;
it's fully pre-cooked.)
Transfer to a bowl or bag and refrigerate.
Lightly beat eggs and egg substitute with the water. Melt butter or
margarine in the skillet that was used to saute the onions and peppers
(or use non-stick spray). When melted, stir in egg mixture.
Cook eggs until almost done, keeping in fairly large curds. Salt and
pepper to taste.
Combine eggs and cooled sausage mixture.
Warm tortillas in the microwave. Place about 1/4 cup of the egg mixture
in the center of a tortilla.
Top with 1 scant tablespoon of shredded cheddar cheese.
Roll tortilla and wrap in waxed paper, tape to seal (label if making more
than one kind).
Place waxed paper wrapped tortillas in a zip-lock freezer bag in
the freezer.
To heat from freezer:
Cook a single wrapped burrito in the microwave for about 2 minutes
on 50% power (or' defrost') (would take longer if you were doing
multiples). Then microwave for about 1/2 minute more on full power
or until hot. Just peel the paper down as you eat so that all the
filling stays in.

Points
NOTES : I got the original recipe for these from Libby. I've been
experimenting with lowering the fat and calorie content without
"ruining" the flavor and texture. This is my final "successful" experiment!
I chose to use a small amount of real butter and real eggs, but these
could easily by made with all egg substitute and cooking
spray. This would change the nutritional analysis to:
138cals,1.8g fat (11.5%CFF), 2.2g fiber =2 WW points each
