Equipment
- Non-stick skillet or frying pan
- Medium mixing bowl
- Spatula
- Sharp knife
- Cutting board
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Plate or board for assembling wraps
Instructions
-
Prep the ingredients:
Wash and dice the bell pepper, halve the cherry tomatoes, thinly slice the red onion, and chop the herbs. If using avocado, slice it just before assembling to prevent browning.
-
Sauté the vegetables:
Heat 1 teaspoon olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the bell pepper and onion.
Sauté for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened, then add the cherry tomatoes and spinach. Cook for another 2 minutes until spinach is wilted and tomatoes are just softened.
Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Transfer vegetables to a plate and set aside.
-
Prepare the scrambled eggs:
Wipe out the skillet if needed. In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs with milk (if using), salt, and pepper.
Add 1 teaspoon olive oil to the skillet, pour in the egg mixture, and cook over low-medium heat, stirring gently with a spatula until the eggs are just set but still creamy—about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.
-
Warm the tortillas:
Place the tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for 20-30 seconds on each side, or microwave briefly until warm and pliable. This step helps prevent tearing while rolling.
-
Assemble the wraps:
Lay each tortilla flat on a plate or board. Divide the scrambled eggs between the two tortillas, spreading in a line down the center.
Top with sautéed veggies, shredded cheese, and avocado slices (if using). Sprinkle with fresh herbs for extra flavor.
-
Roll and seal:
Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll tightly from the bottom to enclose the filling. Place seam-side down.
-
Optional: Grill the wraps
For a crispy finish, wipe the skillet clean and return it to medium heat. Place the wraps seam-side down and cook for 1-2 minutes per side until golden and crisp.
This not only seals the wrap but adds a lovely crunch.
-
Serve:
Slice in half, serve warm, and enjoy!
Tips & Variations
-
Add protein:
For extra staying power, add black beans, refried beans, or crumbled tofu along with the veggies. -
Go vegan:
Substitute eggs with tofu scramble and use your favorite vegan cheese. -
Make it spicy:
Add a pinch of chili flakes to the eggs or a drizzle of hot sauce inside the wrap. -
Switch up the veggies:
Try mushrooms, zucchini, corn, or roasted sweet potato for new flavors and textures. -
Meal prep:
Prepare wraps in advance, wrap in foil, and refrigerate. Reheat in a skillet or microwave just before eating.
“Don’t overfill your wrap—less is more when it comes to easy rolling and no-spill eating!”
