Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup fresh baby spinach
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/8 tsp black pepper
- 1 large (10-inch) whole wheat tortilla
- 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Step 1: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add 1 cup fresh baby spinach and 1/2 cup halved cherry tomatoes, sautéing for 2-3 minutes until spinach is wilted and tomatoes soften.
- Step 2: Crack 2 large eggs into the skillet and stir gently to scramble with the spinach and tomatoes. Season with 1/4 tsp salt and 1/8 tsp black pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until eggs are fully set but still moist.
