Ingredients
- Large flour tortillas: The perfect vessel for holding all the yummy fillings.
- Scrambled eggs: Provides protein and a fluffy texture.
- Shredded cheddar cheese: Because everything’s better with cheese!
Measurements are listed below, in the recipe card.
Instructions
- Scramble your eggs: Whisk your eggs with a splash of water. Honestly, a tiny pinch of salt and pepper never hurts. Cook them over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until they’re light and fluffy, about 5-7 minutes.
- Warm the tortillas: Heat your tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for a few seconds until they are soft and pliable. This makes them easier to roll and prevents them from cracking.
- Assemble your wraps: Lay your warm tortillas flat and sprinkle with some shredded cheddar cheese. Top with the scrambled eggs.
- Roll ’em up: Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then tightly roll from the bottom up. Perfection.
Healthy Wraps Variations & Substitutions
Feeling adventurous? Try adding some cooked, crumbled breakfast sausage or chopped veggies like spinach, onions, or bell peppers to your scrambled eggs for added flavor and nutrients. For a vegetarian option, use black beans or your favorite plant-based protein substitute. For gluten-free diets, swap out the flour tortillas for gluten-free tortillas or lettuce wraps.
Protein Wraps Tips For Success
- Don’t overcook your eggs – nobody likes dry, rubbery eggs!
- Warm your tortillas – this makes them so much easier to work with.
- Get creative with fillings! Everything but the kitchen sink (well, almost…)
- For extra cheesy goodness sprinkle some extra cheese on top of the eggs before rolling.
- Serve immediately for the best melty experience, but don’t worry if you have leftovers!
Quick Healthy Breakfast Serving Ideas
These breakfast wraps are delicious on their own, but you can definitely elevate them! Serve with a side of fresh fruit, salsa, or a dollop of plain Greek yogurt. They’re also great dipped in hot sauce or even guacamole.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover breakfast wraps in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or in a dry skillet over medium heat until warmed through. Be sure to reheat them thoroughly to an internal temperature of 165°F for food safety.
