  • 2 cups diced yellow potatoes
  • 1 lb lean ground meat (turkey, chicken, or beef)
  • 6 large eggs
  • 4 large egg whites
  • 1/2 cup cottage cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Spread the diced bell peppers, onions, and yellow potatoes on a large sheet pan.
  3. Drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss to coat the vegetables evenly.

  7. In a blender, combine the eggs, egg whites, and cottage cheese until you achieve a smooth texture.
  8. Pour the egg mixture over the cooked vegetables and meat, and sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese.
  9. Bake for approximately 12-15 minutes, until the eggs are set and the cheese is melted.
  10. Allow it to cool slightly, then slice into 10 equal portions.
  11. Wrap each portion in a tortilla, adding sauce and cilantro before rolling it up.
