Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add 1 cup fresh baby spinach and sauté for 1-2 minutes until wilted but still vibrant green.
  2. Step 2: Push the spinach to one side of the skillet and crack 1 large egg into the cleared space. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the white is set and the yolk remains runny.
  3. Step 3: Warm 1 (8-inch) flour tortilla in a dry pan or microwave for 20 seconds. Place the sautéed spinach and fried egg onto the tortilla, sprinkle 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese over the spinach, and fold into a wrap. Serve immediately while warm.
