Directions:• Spray 10-inch nonstick skillet with nonstick cooking spray. Cook tomato, onion and bell pepper in skillet over medium heat about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until onion is tender. Mix eggs, tarragon and salt. Pour into skillet.
• As mixture begins to set at bottom and side, gently lift cooked portions with spatula so that thin, uncooked portion can flow to bottom. Avoid constant stirring. Cook 3 to 5 minutes or until eggs are thickened throughout but still moist. Spoon into pita breads. Top with sprouts.
