Breakfast Rollup


6 Points Plus, at least 12 grams of fiber, and a whopping 39.5 grams of protein.
A high protein, high fiber and low fat breakfast.
It's easy, quick and doesn't leave a lot of dishes to do.

Things You Need:
1 cup liquid measure
1/3 cup dry measure
cheese grater
a good non-stick fry pan (I use a 10")
spatula

Food Stuff:
1 La Tortilla Factory Low Carb Large Whole Wheat Tortilla
(2 Points Plus/ 80 cal/ 8g prot/ 18g carbs/ 12g fiber/ 3g fat)
3/4 cup egg substitute (I use Egg Beaters)
(2 Points Plus/ 90 cal/ 18g prot/ 3g carbs/ 0 fiber/ 0 fat)
1/3 cup Jimmy Dean Turkey Sausage Crumbles (It's already fully cooked)
(1 Points Plus/ 40 cal/ 5.5g prot/ 1g carbs/ 0 fiber/ 2g fat)
1 oz Fat Free Jalapeno Jack Cheese (I use LifeTime)
(1 Points Plus/ 40 cal/ 8g prot/ 1g carbs/ 0 fiber/ 0 fat)


Low Sodium, Low Fat Chicken Broth (I use resealable boxed varieties) or A Quick Spray of A Healthy Oil of Your Choice

Optional Veggies to Taste:
I like to use --
   pre-diced red onions
   handful of fresh spinach
   pre-diced tri-colored sweet peppers
   pre-sliced baby portabellas

Directions:
Pour enough broth into pan to soften/saute veggies, if using them. (If needed, you can always continue to add small amounts of broth directly into pan until veggies are softened.) I like to do the onions and peppers first, toss in the sausage to use some of it's fat, then hand crumble in the shrooms. I leave the spinach to last and hand tear or cut it directly into the pan. When the veggies are ready, pour in the egg substitute. let it set up on the bottom and begin scrambling. When done, set aside. Take tortilla and flame directly (and carefully) on burner over low gas heat, flipping every few seconds until warmed. (You can also heat in warmed oven, microwave, or lay over hot egg mixture.) Shred cheese directly into center of tortilla. Add egg mixture on top. Roll up and eat!
