- 1 large jalapeño, seeded and chopped
- 2 green onions, chopped
- 1/2 cup (25g) fresh cilantro, chopped
- 2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
- 1 large egg
- 4 large egg whites
- 1/2 teaspoon hot sauce

Directions
Wrap the tortillas in foil and warm in a 200ºF (93ºC) oven while you prepare the filling.
In a medium bowl, combine the tomatoes, jalapeño, green onion, cilantro and lime juice. Stir to mix.
In a medium bowl, whisk the egg and egg whites. Place a medium saute pan over medium heat and let warm for a few seconds, then spray with olive oil. Add the egg mixture and scramble, turning with a spatula as it cooks. When cooked through, sprinkle with hot sauce.
Assemble the tacos by placing two tortillas on each plate, and divide the eggs between them. Top with 1/4 of the avocado and a spoonful of salsa; serve with more salsa on the side.
