Biggest Loser Breakfast Sopes
Another take on a popular Tex Mex breakfast, this one has staying power, as most egg dishes tend to have. Black beans, eggs, fresh salsa, and feta in a masa shell — Biggest Loser Breakfast Sopes are family approved and perfect for brunch with guests.
Ingredients
Filling:
- ½ cup liquid egg substitute (reduced calorie)
- ½ cup black beans - pureed
- ½ cup vegetable stock

- 3 cloves fresh garlic
- 1 teaspoon chili powder

Instructions
- In a pot add the beans, onion, vegetable stock, garlic, cumin, salt and pepper.
- Cook for 15 minutes on low until the onions and garlic are soft then mix in a blender. Then set aside for later.
- Mix the masa flour and water together until you get a sandy paste consistency.
- Using a round pastry ring split the dough in half and then take one piece of dough and press and fill it into the bottom of the pastry ring -- as a size template -- until the dough is stretched out in a small, round, raw tortilla.
- In a hot sauté pan, spray with Pam Non-Stick Cooking Spray and place the small raw tortilla circle in the pan and cook on each side for about 5 minutes.
- Repeat process until you have 2 cooked masa tortillas.
- Scramble the eggs in a sauté pan on low heat until they are cooked and fluffy.
- Add 1/4 cup of bean puree to each plate.
- Place the cooked "sope" or masa tortilla on top of the bean puree.
- Add half of the eggs to each plate and garnish with salsa, feta and a little pesto for color and taste.
