Ingredients

• 4 large eggs
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 1 tbsp unsalted butter
• 1/2 cup red bell pepper, diced
• 1/2 cup baby spinach, chopped
• 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 large flour tortillas
• 1 tsp olive oil

Instructions

1. Step 1: In a medium bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper until fully combined and slightly frothy.
2. Step 2: Heat 1 tbsp unsalted butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat until melted and foaming. Pour in the eggs and gently stir with a spatula, cooking for 2-3 minutes until soft curds form but the eggs remain moist. Remove eggs from skillet and set aside.
3. Step 3: In the same skillet, add 1 tsp olive oil and sauté 1/2 cup diced red bell pepper over medium heat for 3 minutes until tender but still crisp. Add 1/2 cup chopped baby spinach and cook for another minute until wilted.
4. Step 4: Warm 2 large flour tortillas briefly in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable.
5. Step 5: Divide the scrambled eggs evenly between the tortillas, spreading them in the center. Top each with the sautéed vegetables and 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese.
6. Step 6: Fold the sides of the tortillas over the filling and roll tightly into wraps. Optionally, place the wraps seam-side down in the skillet over low heat for 1-2 minutes to seal and melt the cheese.
7. Step 7: Slice in half and serve warm for a balanced, layered breakfast.
