Ingredients

• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup fresh spinach leaves, roughly chopped
• ¼ cup crumbled feta cheese
• 1 whole‑grain tortilla (8‑inch)
• 1 tbsp olive oil or butter
• ¼ tsp garlic powder
• Salt & pepper to taste
• Optional: sliced cherry tomatoes, avocado, or hot sauce

Step‑by‑Step Instructions

1. Heat a non‑stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil or butter. Let it melt and coat the pan evenly.
2. While the pan warms, crack the eggs into a bowl, add a pinch of salt, pepper, and garlic powder, then whisk vigorously until the mixture is uniform and slightly frothy.
3. Once the oil shimmers, add the chopped spinach. Sauté for 30‑45 seconds, just until the leaves wilt and reduce in volume. This quick sauté preserves the bright green color and nutrients.
4. Pour the whisked eggs over the wilted spinach. Reduce the heat to low and let the eggs set gently, stirring occasionally with a silicone spatula to create soft, creamy curds. This technique yields a velvety scramble without over‑cooking.
5. When the eggs are just about set but still slightly runny, sprinkle the crumbled feta evenly over the top. The residual heat will melt the feta just enough to create little pockets of salty goodness.
6. Turn off the heat. Let the scramble rest in the pan for 30 seconds; this finalizes the cooking while keeping the texture luxuriously soft.
7. While the scramble rests, warm the tortilla. Place it in a separate dry skillet for 15‑20 seconds per side, or microwave for 10 seconds, just until pliable.
8. Transfer the creamy spinach‑egg mixture onto the center of the warm tortilla. Add optional toppings like sliced cherry tomatoes, avocado slices, or a drizzle of hot sauce for extra flavor.
9. Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll tightly from the bottom up, creating a snug wrap that holds all the fillings together.
10. Slice the wrap diagonally for a polished presentation. Serve immediately, or wrap in parchment paper for an on‑the‑go breakfast.

Pro Tips & Tricks

• Use Fresh Spinach: Fresh leaves wilt faster and retain a brighter color than frozen. If you only have frozen, thaw and squeeze out excess moisture first.
• Low Heat is Key: Cooking the eggs on low prevents a rubbery texture and keeps the scramble creamy.
• Feta Timing: Adding feta at the very end ensures it melts just enough to blend without losing its distinct tang.
• Wrap Warm: A warm tortilla is more pliable and less likely to crack when you roll it.
• Make Ahead: Pre‑chop the spinach and crumble feta the night before; store in airtight containers to shave seconds off your morning prep.

Variations & Substitutions

Storage Tips

The scramble and spinach can be stored separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a skillet over low heat, adding a splash of milk or water to restore creaminess. If you need to prep the entire wrap ahead of time, assemble it without the tortilla, wrap tightly in plastic wrap, and keep refrigerated. Add the tortilla and warm it just before serving to avoid sogginess.
