Recipe!

So, I tried a new recipe last night.  Super-duper easy, AND healthy!  You'll have to bear with me, as I am not one to follow a specific recipe, so these are close approximations....
Fancy Breakfast "Tacos"

Corn tortilla chips OR flour tortillas cut into triangles
Turkey bacon
Egg whites
Salsa
Shredded cheddar cheese
Cupcake pan

- Preheat oven to 350.
- Spray the cupcake pan with a little cooking spray. 
- Per "slot", put 2 tortilla chips (I had to break mine into a few pieces first to make it fit)
- Add to each, 1 tbs Jimmy Dean Turkey Sausage Crumbles, 3 tbs. egg whites, and 1 tbs. salsa
- bake in the oven until eggs are fully cooked (I didn't set a timer, but I think it took around 10-15 minutes?)
- Add up to 1 tbs shredded cheese after you take them out of the oven.
- If you love salt,  you might want to add a little at the end, or mix in with the egg whites before baking.
- pop them out of the cupcake slots and serve!

Not only is this recipe DELICIOUS, but it's also super healthy.  You can eat 2 "tacos" for only about 200 calories!!

I tried making a couple with flour tortillas cut into triangles in place of the corn chips, which made it look prettier, but took away the nice "crunch factor".

The top 2 are made with chips, the bottom 2 with flour tortillas

AND, for the eternal party-hoster, it's great for individual portions or finger-food type brunch!
