Ingredients
Scale
Egg Mixture
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
Vegetables & Cheese
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1/2 cup fresh spinach, chopped
- 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Wrap
- 1 whole wheat tortilla (8-inch)
- Optional: hot sauce or salsa for serving
Instructions
- Prepare the egg mixture: In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until fully combined and slightly frothy, ensuring a smooth consistency for scrambling.
- Sauté the spinach: Heat olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped spinach and cook for 1 to 2 minutes until wilted and bright green, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Cook the eggs: Pour the egg mixture over the wilted spinach in the skillet. Gently stir the mixture continuously to scramble the eggs until they are fully cooked but still moist and fluffy. This should take about 2 to 3 minutes.
- Add cheese: Remove the skillet from heat, then immediately stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted and evenly distributed throughout the eggs.
- Warm the tortilla: Heat the whole wheat tortilla in the microwave for 15 to 20 seconds or in a dry skillet until warm and flexible, making it easier to wrap.
- Assemble the wrap: Spoon the egg and spinach mixture onto the center of the warmed tortilla. Fold the sides inwards, then roll from one end to the other to form a neat wrap.
- Serve: Serve the breakfast wrap warm with optional hot sauce or salsa on the side for added flavor and spice.
Notes
- Customize your wrap by adding diced tomatoes, cooked bacon, or avocado for extra flavor and texture.
- For a dairy-free version, use plant-based cheese and omit the milk from the egg mixture.
