Instructions
Place the egg whites (no yolks at all...or it won’t work) in a bowl and whip with a hand mixer or stand mixer until they are very stiff.
Slowly add in the unflavored protein powder and spices.
Heat oil in a small skillet over medium-high heat.
Fry tortilla dough one at a time until firm, but not crisp.
Remove onto paper towels to drain excess oil.
Meanwhile, prepare the beef and other desired topping.
When tortillas are done, fry eggs over easy in the skillet.
Place “tortillas” onto plates, and spread a layer of meat on them.
Top with your desired toppings. I love my chili, a fried egg, crumbled bacon, avocado and salsa.
