1 lb. shredded pepper jack cheese
3 cups Roma tomatoes, seeded and diced
1 ½ lb. lump crab meat or imitation crab
½ cup fresh oregano, chopped

To prepare chipotle cream, mix sour cream, chipotle sauce, salt and lime juice. Refrigerate until needed.

Scramble eggs in spray-coated non-stick pan over medium heat until firm throughout with no visible liquid egg remaining; keep warm.

Roll each tortilla tightly into cigar shape; transfer to coated baking sheet, seam side down. Sprinkle rolls with Parmesan cheese.
