Cook Time 10 minutes
Total Time 20 minutes
Servings: 2 servings

Ingredients
  

  • Large egg whites (from 4 large eggs, or 1/2 cup liquid egg whites)
  • Whole-wheat or high-fiber tortilla (8–10 inches)
  • Avocado (1/2, sliced or mashed)
  • Baby spinach (1 cup, loosely packed)
  • Cherry tomatoes (1/2 cup, halved) or 1 small Roma tomato, diced
  • Red onion (2 tablespoons, finely chopped)
  • Bell pepper (1/4 cup, finely diced; any color)
  • Low-moisture part-skim mozzarella or feta (2–3 tablespoons, crumbled or shredded)
  • Fresh herbs (cilantro or chives, 1–2 tablespoons, chopped)
  • Greek yogurt or light sour cream (1–2 tablespoons, optional)
  • Hot sauce or salsa (to taste, optional)
  • Lime (1/2, for squeezing)
  • Olive oil or avocado oil (1 teaspoon)
  • Salt and black pepper
  • Garlic powder or minced garlic (a pinch or 1/4 teaspoon)
  • Smoked paprika or chili flakes (a pinch, optional)

Method
 

  1. Prep your veggies. Halve the cherry tomatoes, dice the bell pepper, and chop the red onion and herbs. Slice or mash the avocado with a pinch of salt and lime juice to keep it bright.
  2. Warm the tortilla. Place it in a dry skillet over medium heat for 20–30 seconds per side until pliable. Keep it on a plate covered with a clean towel to stay warm.
  3. Wilt the spinach and soften veggies. In a nonstick skillet, heat 1 teaspoon oil over medium. Add onion and bell pepper with a pinch of salt. Cook 2–3 minutes until slightly tender. Toss in spinach and cook just until wilted, about 30–45 seconds. Transfer to a plate.
  4. Cook the egg whites. Lower heat slightly. Add egg whites to the same pan. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Stir gently with a spatula to create soft curds. Cook 1–2 minutes until set but still moist. Do not overcook.
  5. Layer the wrap. Spread Greek yogurt on the warm tortilla, if using. Add the spinach-pepper mixture, then the egg whites. Top with tomatoes, avocado, herbs, and cheese. Finish with hot sauce or salsa and a squeeze of lime.
  6. Wrap it up. Fold the sides inward, then roll from the bottom up to form a snug wrap. For a toasty finish, return it to the skillet seam-side down for 1–2 minutes per side.
  7. Serve. Slice in half if you like. Enjoy warm with extra lime or hot sauce.
