Eggs: Not Just For Breakfast

While eggs are delicious, I think it's easy to stay locked into the idea that they make a great breakfast without remembering how yummy they can be for lunch or afternoon snack as well! I made this recipe for my afternoon snack today, and had to make a second batch since little fingers made them disappear. These will be popular with the whole family and definitely don't taste like diet food.

Mexican food is so tasty and delicious, but unless you're careful with your choices the calorie and fat count can really get ratcheted up. Using your air fryer will still make these taquitos crispy and delicious as well as guilt free!

Egg Taquitos (Flex Meal):

2 hard boiled eggs, coarsely chopped
1/4 cup shredded cooked chicken
1 tbsp fat free mayonnaise
1 tsp taco seasoning
1/4 cup low fat shredded Cheddar cheese
4 small Carb Balance Mission Tortillas (or any substitute at 50 calories' each and at least 1g fiber)
salsa for dipping

Preheat your air fryer to 425 degrees. In a bowl, combine the eggs, chicken, mayonnaise, and seasoning. Mix in the cheese. Lay the tortillas out on a work surface. Fill each tortilla (approximately 2 tbsp of filling in each tortilla) and roll them tightly into a cylinder. Place each roll seam side down in the air fryer tray, not touching the others. Spray the taquitos with butter spray.

Bake for approximately 5-6 minutes or until edges start to brown and tortillas are crispy. Cut in half and serve immediately with salsa. Makes 2 servings.
