Note: This recipe appears in the South Beach Diet Quick & Easy Cookbook. This dish can be made in 15 minutes or less and can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch or dinner. I have really come to love eggs and this dish is for lovers of Mexican food. You can use any kind of Mexican cheese such as cheddar, Monterey Jack with this and it will still taste delicious. I also highly recommend serving salsa with this dish for an authentic Mexican taste.
