Ingredients

  • 1 egg
  • cup liquid egg whites
  • ½ cup baby spinach
  • ¼ cup diced bell peppers
  • ¼ cup diced onions
  • 1 soft taco-sized tortilla
  • ¼ cup shredded cheese optional

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, scramble the egg and egg whites. Season with salt and pepper as desired. Set aside.
    1 egg, ⅓ cup liquid egg whites
  • Lay your tortilla shell on a plate and sprinkle with half of the cheese.
    1 soft taco-sized tortilla, ¼ cup shredded cheese
  • Spray a small non-stick pan with cooking oil and heat to medium. Add diced peppers and onions and saute until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the spinach and lightly stir until wilted. Spread over top of the cheese on the tortilla.
    ½ cup baby spinach, ¼ cup diced bell peppers, ¼ cup diced onions, ¼ cup shredded cheese
  • Place the pan back on the stovetop and add the egg. Scramble lightly with a spatula until cooked through. Add eggs to the vegetable and cheese mixture on the tortilla. Sprinkle with the remaining cheese.
  • Gently up the tortilla by slightly folding in each side, then rolling from the side closest to you. (Watch the video to see how I roll it up without the ends falling out).

Notes

You can prep the vegetables ahead of time and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days to make morning assembly a little quicker.
