Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat until shimmering.
  2. Step 2: Add 1 cup fresh spinach leaves and sauté for 1-2 minutes until wilted and bright green.
  3. Step 3: In a bowl, whisk 3 large eggs with 1/4 tsp salt and 1/8 tsp black pepper until combined.
  4. Step 4: Pour the eggs into the skillet with spinach and cook over medium-low heat, gently stirring, until softly scrambled and just set, about 3-4 minutes.
  5. Step 5: Warm 1 large (10-inch) whole wheat tortilla in a dry skillet or microwave for 10 seconds to make it pliable.
  6. Step 6: Spoon the scrambled eggs and spinach mixture onto the center of the tortilla, then top with 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese and 1/4 cup salsa.
  7. Step 7: Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll tightly from one end to the other to form a burrito.
  8. Step 8: Optionally, place the burrito seam-side down in the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes to seal and crisp the tortilla.
  9. Step 9: Serve warm with extra salsa on the side if desired.
