Ingredients
  

  • 8 large egg whites (or 1 cup liquid egg whites)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or avocado oil, divided
  • 1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup baby spinach, roughly chopped
  • 1 small tomato, diced and patted dry (or 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved)
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional but tasty)
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 2 whole wheat or high-fiber tortillas (8–10 inches)
  • 1/3 cup reduced-fat shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or mozzarella)
  • 1/2 ripe avocado, sliced (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt or light sour cream (optional)
  • Fresh herbs like cilantro or chives, chopped (optional)
  • Hot sauce or salsa, to serve (optional)

Method
 

  1. Prep your fillings: Slice the onion and pepper. Chop the spinach. Dice the tomato and pat it dry with a paper towel to reduce moisture.
  2. Warm the tortillas: Heat a dry skillet over medium heat. Warm each tortilla for 20–30 seconds per side until pliable. Wrap them in a clean towel to keep warm.
  3. Sauté the veggies: Add 2 teaspoons of oil to the same skillet. Cook the onion and bell pepper with a pinch of salt for 3–4 minutes until softened. Stir in spinach and cook 30–60 seconds until wilted. Transfer to a plate.
  4. Season the egg whites: In a bowl or measuring cup, whisk egg whites with garlic powder, smoked paprika, a pinch of salt, and pepper until slightly frothy.
  5. Cook the egg whites: Add the remaining oil to the skillet. Pour in the egg whites and let them set for 10–15 seconds. Use a spatula to gently push the set edges toward the center, letting uncooked egg flow to the edges. Cook 2–3 minutes until soft and just set. Avoid overcooking.
  6. Combine and melt: Return the sautéed veggies to the skillet with the eggs. Sprinkle in the cheese and fold gently until the cheese melts and everything looks cohesive. Remove from heat. Fold in the tomato so it warms without getting watery.
  7. Assemble the wraps: Lay a warm tortilla on your board. Spoon half the egg mixture down the center. Add avocado slices, a small dollop of Greek yogurt, and herbs if using.
  8. Roll it right: Fold the sides over the filling, then roll from the bottom up into a tight wrap. Repeat with the second tortilla.
  9. Toast for structure (optional): Place the wraps seam-side down in the skillet for 1–2 minutes per side to crisp lightly. This helps them hold together, especially for on-the-go eating.
  10. Serve: Slice in half if you like. Add salsa or hot sauce and enjoy.
