 Servings

  • Serves: 2 wraps

 Time

  • Prep Time: 10 minutes
  • Cook Time: 10 minutes
  • Total Time: ~20 minutes

 Ingredients

For the Wrap:

  • 2 large whole wheat tortillas
  • 4 eggs
  • ½ cup cottage cheese
  • 1 ripe avocado (sliced or mashed)
  • ¼ cup spinach (optional)
  • 2 tbsp diced tomatoes
  • 1 tbsp olive oil or butter
  • Salt and black pepper (to taste)
  • ½ tsp chili flakes or hot sauce (optional)

 Instructions

1. Cook the Eggs

Heat oil or butter in a pan over medium heat. Crack the eggs into a bowl, whisk lightly with salt and pepper, then scramble until just set. Remove from heat to keep them soft.

2. Prepare the Filling

Slice or mash the avocado with a pinch of salt. If using spinach, lightly sauté it for 1–2 minutes until wilted.

3. Assemble the Wrap

Lay tortillas flat. Spread cottage cheese evenly across each one. Add scrambled eggs, avocado, spinach, and diced tomatoes. Sprinkle chili flakes or drizzle hot sauce if desired.

4. Fold and Toast

Fold the sides inward and roll tightly into a wrap. Place seam-side down in a pan and toast for 2–3 minutes per side until lightly golden and crisp.

5. Serve

Slice in half and serve warm. Pair with fresh fruit or a smoothie for a complete breakfast.

 Tips

  • Use full-fat cottage cheese for a creamier texture.
  • Don’t overcook eggs—they should stay soft for best flavor.
  • Warm tortillas before assembling to prevent tearing.
  • Add grilled chicken or turkey slices for extra protein.

 Notes

  • You can swap eggs for tofu scramble for a vegetarian variation.
  • Gluten-free tortillas work well if needed.
  • Add herbs like cilantro or parsley for extra freshness.
