Mexican Scrambled Eggs
"We got this from my step-son. His step-dad makes this at home for him. We tried it and love it. You could add lots of things to this like cheese, onions, peppers, or even hot sauce, but we think it's great as is. (My husband adds ketchup, but he does that to all of his eggs, ick!)
I have tried omitting the step of pre-crisping the tortillas strips (in order to save on fat and calories) and it just wasn't the same. The small amount of fat and time in this step makes all the difference in taste."

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I am a mother of 2 young kids, one of which is picky. I came to the 'Zaar looking for new ways to prepare foods to try and get my family to eat healthier. I am proud to say both my picky one and my picky husband are eating a lot more vegtables and liking them!
I love to collect cookbooks (don't we all) because I am always on the hunt for yummy new recipes. When I find a recipe I love, it goes on a 4x6 card and into my recipe box for future use. Since I like trying new things, the recipe has to be pretty special for me to hang on to it. I would say a good 90% of what I make I like, but just not enough for it to be THE recipe. I am generally not a picky eater, I like most things, but am just always on the look out for something different.
I want us to eat healthier and have been preparing healthier foods, but we do enjoy the occasional bad meal. :) I am trying to do a couple all veggie dinners each week, a couple nights of fish, and the rest of the week is a toss up with chicken filling in the majority of the time.
