Notes

• Substitute egg whites or tofu for whole eggs to reduce fat and cholesterol counts.

• To heat tortillas, hold over an open flame for a nice, charred flavor, heat in a warm pan, or microwave in damp paper towel.

• Add any of your favorite taco toppings! Try pinto or refried beans, cheese, jalapenos, or your favorite hot sauce.

• Use up any leftover pickled onions by adding to soups, salads, grilled meats, poultry, fish, cooked veggies or even grains.
