In a nonstick skillet lightly brown the canadian bacon. When heated throughout, remove from the skillet and slice into strips. While skillet is hot place tortilla’s in the skillet to warm and slightly brown on both sides.

In a microwavable bowl lightly spray the inside of the bowl with cooking spray. Add eggbeaters, salt and pepper. Heat at full power in microwave for 2 minutes, remove, stir with fork, return to microwave and heat again in one minute intervals, stirring each time until cooked throughout. They will be light and fluffy.
