"The best way to lose weight is to close your mouth - something very difficult for a politician. Or watch your food - just watch it, don't eat it." -Edward Koch, Politician
I like using leftovers and many of my recipes have ways to do this. You could use this same leftover filling on a pizza - it is quite yummy, and because it is freshly made, not really leftovers.

This recipe also requires making Soft Corn Tacos first. These are made with the leftovers. Leftover frittatas are good. Wrap tightly after cooled and refrigerate. I like to make sandwiches from left over frittata.
Preheat the oven to 425°F.
Place a small non-stick sauté pan over medium-high heat and spray lightly with olive oil. Add the diced onion and cook slowly until translucent and soft. It is fine if the onions brown and caramelize. Remove the onions to a plate and keep warm.
Whisk the eggs, egg whites, water, salt and pepper in a bowl until frothy.
Place the non-stick skillet over high heat and spray lightly with olive oil. Add the egg mixture and reduce the heat to medium. Simmer for about 2 minutes. Add the onions to the cooking eggs spreading them evenly across the top.
Spread the corn taco filling over the top of the onions and place the mixture in the oven.
Place in oven and cook for about 12 minutes. As the frittata begins to puff sprinkle the cilantro leaves over the top and then cover with the shredded Monterey jack cheese.
Cook for about 5 more minutes until the cheese is melted and the frittata has puffed.
