Step-by-Step Instructions
Follow these simple steps to make a Veggie-Packed Breakfast Wrap:
Prepare the Vegetables and Eggs:
- Heat the Pan: In a large non-stick skillet, heat the olive oil (or butter) over medium heat. Add the diced bell pepper, zucchini, and red onion to the pan. Sauté for 4-5 minutes until they start to soften and become fragrant.
- Add the Greens and Tomato: Add the chopped spinach (or kale) and diced tomato to the pan. Continue sautéing for another 2-3 minutes until the spinach wilts and the tomato softens. Season with salt, pepper, and paprika (if using). Stir everything together and cook for an additional minute before removing from heat.
- Scramble the Eggs: In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper. Heat a small non-stick skillet over medium heat, add a teaspoon of oil or butter, and pour in the whisked eggs. Stir occasionally, cooking until the eggs are scrambled and fully cooked through. Set aside.
Assemble the Wraps:
- Warm the Tortillas: Place the tortillas on a dry skillet over medium heat for about 1-2 minutes to warm them. Alternatively, you can microwave the tortillas for about 10 seconds.
- Add the Veggie Filling: Spread the sautéed vegetable mixture evenly across the center of each tortilla. You can add a spoonful of hummus or avocado spread on the tortilla before adding the veggies for extra creaminess.
- Top with Scrambled Eggs: Add the scrambled eggs on top of the vegetable mixture.
- Add Cheese and Garnishes (Optional): If you like, sprinkle some shredded cheese on top of the eggs while they are still hot, so it melts. You can also sprinkle fresh herbs, such as cilantro or parsley, to enhance the flavor.
- Roll the Wrap: Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling an
