In a small bowl, using a fork, whisk together the egg whites, eggs, water, pepper, and salt. Set aside. -
In a medium skillet, heat 1 teaspoon oil over medium-high heat, swirling to coat the bottom. Cook the red onion, bell pepper, carrot, and zucchini for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Stir in the tomatoes, green onions, and jalapeño. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer the mixture to a plate. -
In the same skillet, still over medium-high heat, heat the remaining 2 teaspoons oil, swirling to coat the bottom. Cook the tortilla strips for 3 to 4 minutes, or until golden, stirring constantly. Stir in the salsa. Cook for 1 minute. Stir in the egg mixture. Cook for 2 minutes, or until the eggs are set, stirring constantly. Remove from the heat. -
Stir in the vegetable mixture.
Cooking Tip: To easily grate vegetables, use a box grater or the grater attachment on a food processor. You can also use a spiralizer or a peeler and then chop the zucchini into smaller pieces.
Keep it Healthy: Serve with a side of no-salt-added black beans.
Tip: If you don't have the vegetables listed on hand, swap in the same amount of others, such as sliced mushrooms, chopped asparagus, or leftover roasted potatoes or sweet potatoes.
