COOK THE BACON: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the bacon strips and cook 3 minutes per side, or until crispy. Remove the bacon from the pan and allow to cook on a paper towel-lined plate. 2. MAKE THE PICO DI GALLO: In a small bowl, combine all of the Pico ingredients and stir. Refrigerate while assembling the burritos. 3. MAKE THE EGG MIXTURE: Crack the 4 eggs and mix well with egg whites. 4. MAKE THE QUESADILLAS: Lightly spray a nonstick pan with olive oil, and turn heat to medium. Add 1/3 cup egg mixtures to pan. Immediately on top eggs press down 1 low carb wrap and cover with a lid. After cooking 1-2 minutes flip egg+tortilla over, so now egg side should be facing up in the pan, and the tortilla should be on the bottom of the skillet. Add ¼ cup shredded cheese, and crumbled 1strip of bacon and add onto 1 half of the tortilla. Scoop 1-2 tablespoons of Pico onto half of the tortilla. And fold the wrap in half and flip over. Cook 1-2 minutes again with lid on. 5. Serve with sliced avocado on top for some healthy fat and fiber, add any extra veggies or salsa for topping! NOTES: You can recycle this recipe for burritos! They keep in the freezer 3-4 weeks! I like to reheat in my toaster over @ 350 for 15 mins in the morning when I get up and its hot and ready for my drive into work!
