- 1 tomato, sliced
- Fresh spinach leaves
Seasonings:
- 1 pinch of salt
- 1 pinch of black pepper
- 1 pinch of red pepper
- Green onions, chopped
Cooking Fats:
- Olive oil or butter, for cooking
Instructions
- Whisk eggs in a mixing bowl with salt, black pepper, red pepper, and chopped green onions until well combined.
- Warm a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly coat with olive oil or butter.
- Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, allowing it to set for 15-20 seconds until edges begin to solidify.
- Carefully place the tortilla directly on top of the partially cooked eggs, ensuring complete coverage.
- Cook for approximately 1 minute, then gently flip the entire egg-tortilla ensemble to ensure even cooking.
- Distribute fresh tomato slices and spinach leaves across one half of the tortilla surface.
- Fold the tortilla in half, encasing the vegetables and eggs within.
- Continue cooking for an additional 45-60 seconds, creating a crispy exterior and wilting the spinach.
- Transfer the wrap to a cutting board, let it rest for 30 seconds to cool slightly.
- Slice diagonally and serve immediately while warm and crisp.
Notes
- Opt for farm-fresh eggs to enhance the overall flavor and nutritional value of the wrap.
- Quickly pat spinach and tomatoes dry to prevent excess moisture and maintain a crispy tortilla texture.
- Experiment with different spice combinations like smoked paprika or herbs like basil to elevate the wrap’s taste profile.
- Consider using a cast-iron skillet for better heat distribution and a perfectly crispy tortilla edge.
