  • Cuisine: American

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large High-Protein or Whole Wheat Tortilla
  • 2 large Eggs
  • 1/2 cup Low-fat Cottage Cheese
  • 1/4 medium Avocado, sliced or mashed
  • 1/2 cup Baby Spinach, loosely packed
  • 1 teaspoon Olive Oil or Butter
  • Salt and Black Pepper, to taste
  • Pinch of Red Pepper Flakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat the olive oil or butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper, then pour into the hot skillet. Scramble the eggs until fully cooked, about 2-3 minutes, then remove them from the heat.
  2. Step 2: Prepare the cottage cheese mixture by stirring in the optional red pepper flakes, if desired. On a cutting board, mash or thinly slice the avocado.
  3. Step 3: Warm the tortilla by placing it in a dry skillet over medium-low heat for 30 seconds per side, or microwave it for 15-20 seconds to make it pliable.
  4. Step 4: Lay the warmed tortilla flat. Spread the avocado mash or slices down the center of the tortilla.
  5. Step 5: Layer the remaining ingredients over the avocado: first the cooked scrambled eggs, then the fresh baby spinach, and finally the seasoned cottage cheese.
  6. Step 6: Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then tightly roll the wrap from the bottom up. Slice in half diagonally and serve immediately.

Notes

  • To prevent the wrap from getting soggy, store the scrambled eggs and seasoned cottage cheese separately for up to 3 days, only assembling the wrap immediately before serving.
  • Do not attempt to reheat the assembled wrap; if you have leftovers, remove the fresh avocado and spinach first, then gently warm the remaining wrap in a dry skillet until the tortilla is pliable again.
  • For a burst of acidity that cuts through the richness of the avocado and cheese, pair the wrap with a simple side of hot sauce or a dash of fresh lime juice.
  • A key flavor tip is to place the cottage cheese last, right before folding, and use it as a creamy "binder" to help all the ingredients adhere and prevent the wrap from unraveling.
