Directions
Preheat oven to 200ºF (93ºC).
Wrap the tortillas in foil and warm in the preheated oven while you prepare the filling.
To make the salsa: In a medium bowl, combine the tomatoes, jalapeño, green onion, cilantro and lime juice. Stir to mix. Set aside.
To make the eggs: 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 add olive oil. Once hot, add the egg mixture and scramble, turning with a spatula as it cooks. When cooked through, season with hot sauce.
