Ingredients
  

  • 4 large egg whites (or 1 cup liquid egg whites)
  • 1 cooked chicken sausage link, sliced or crumbled (look for low-sodium, nitrate-free)
  • 1 medium whole wheat or low-carb tortilla (8–10 inches)
  • 1/4 cup diced bell peppers (any color)
  • 2 tablespoons diced red onion
  • 1/4 cup baby spinach, roughly chopped
  • 1–2 tablespoons shredded cheese (optional; cheddar, mozzarella, or pepper jack)
  • 1 tablespoon Greek yogurt or light sour cream (optional, for creaminess)
  • 1–2 teaspoons hot sauce or salsa (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil or avocado oil
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Pinch of paprika or chili powder (optional)

Method
 

  1. Prep the sausage and veggies: If your chicken sausage is pre-cooked, slice it into thin coins or crumble it. Dice peppers and onion, and chop spinach. Keep everything within reach for quick cooking.
  2. Warm the tortilla: Heat a dry skillet over medium and warm the tortilla for 20–30 seconds per side. This makes it pliable and prevents cracking. Set aside on a plate.
  3. Sauté the sausage: Add the oil to the skillet. When it shimmers, cook the sausage for 1–2 minutes until lightly browned and heated through. Remove and set aside.
  4. Cook the veggies: In the same skillet, add peppers and onion with a small pinch of salt. Sauté 2–3 minutes until slightly softened but still crisp. Stir in the spinach and cook 30 seconds until just wilted. Transfer to the plate with the sausage.
  5. Scramble the egg whites: Lower heat to medium-low. Pour in egg whites, season with salt, pepper, and paprika or chili powder if using. Stir gently with a spatula until soft curds form and they’re just set, about 2–3 minutes. Avoid overcooking so they stay tender.
  6. Assemble the wrap: Lay the warm tortilla flat. Spread a thin layer of Greek yogurt if using. Add egg whites, sausage, and veggies. Sprinkle cheese on top if you like. Drizzle hot sauce or spoon on salsa for a little kick.
  7. Wrap it up: Fold in the sides, then roll tightly from the bottom to the top. For a lightly crisp exterior, place the wrap seam-side down in the skillet for 1 minute per side.
  8. Serve: Slice in half and enjoy immediately, or wrap in foil if you’re taking it to go.
