Description
Make this quick, high-protein breakfast wrap using egg whites for a lean start to your day. It is ready in under ten minutes.
Ingredients
Scale
- 6 large egg whites
- 1 whole wheat or low-carb tortilla
- 1/4 cup chopped spinach
- 2 tablespoons diced bell pepper (any color)
- 1 ounce low-fat feta cheese, crumbled
- 1 teaspoon olive oil or cooking spray
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil or spray cooking spray in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- Pour the egg whites into the skillet. Let them set slightly, then gently scramble them until almost cooked through.
- Add the chopped spinach and diced bell pepper to the egg whites. Cook for one minute until the vegetables soften slightly.
- Remove the skillet from the heat. Stir in the crumbled feta cheese, salt, and pepper.
- Warm the tortilla briefly in a separate dry pan or microwave until pliable.
- Spoon the egg white mixture down the center of the warm tortilla.
- Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to create a wrap. Serve immediately.
Notes
- For meal prepping, cook the egg white scramble ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to three days. Assemble the wrap just before eating.
- You can substitute the feta cheese with 1 tablespoon of shredded low-fat mozzarella or a dash of hot sauce for flavor.
- Use a high-fiber tortilla to increase the total fiber content of this high-protein breakfast idea.
