This recipe doesn't include any carbs from bread products, instead it is high in protein due to the eggs, beans and cheese. However, if you are using the Weight Watcher's diet as a guide, adding one tortilla to this meal only accounts for around 2-3 points which isn't a large percentage of a typical daily point allowance.

The key to this meal is to allow each person to add the flavors that they love such as jalapenos, salsa, hot sauce, sour cream, etc. Try loading it up with tons of tomatoes and even better if you can add vegetables to it! Consider serving it with a side of fruit as shown in the image on the right.
