  3. Add eggs and egg whites; cook, stirring frequently, for 4 to 5 minutes, or until eggs are set. Remove from heat.
  4. Top each tortilla evenly with egg mixture and cheese.
  5. Fold each tortilla in half; cook in medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, for 4 to 5 minutes, turning once, until cheese is melted and tortilla is golden brown.
