Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large egg whites (about 120 ml or 4 fluid ounces)
  • 1/4 cup diced bell peppers (red or yellow)
  • 1/4 cup fresh spinach, roughly chopped (or kale)
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped onions (white or red)
  • Pinch of salt
  • Pinch of black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Pinch of garlic powder (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil or avocado oil
  • 1 whole wheat or low-carb tortilla (about 8-inch diameter)
  • Optional: fresh herbs like parsley or chives
  • Optional: sprinkle of reduced-fat shredded cheese

Instructions

  1. Dice bell peppers, roughly chop spinach, and finely chop onions. Set aside.
  2. Heat 1 teaspoon olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add onions and bell peppers, stirring occasionally until softened but not browned, about 2-3 minutes. Add spinach last and cook just until wilted, about 1 minute. Remove veggies from pan and set aside.
  3. In a mixing bowl, whisk 4 large egg whites with a pinch of salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and garlic powder until frothy and slightly thickened.
  4. Lower heat to medium-low and lightly grease the skillet again if needed. Pour egg whites into the pan. Let cook undisturbed for about 1 minute until edges start to set.
  5. Gently fold the sautéed veggies into the egg whites using a spatula, lifting and folding rather than stirring vigorously. Continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes until eggs are fully set but still moist and fluffy.
  6. Warm the tortilla in a dry pan or microwave for a few seconds to make it pliable. Spoon the egg white and veggie mixture down the center of the wrap. Add optional fresh herbs or cheese if using.
  7. Fold in the sides and roll tightly to form a wrap. Serve immediately. For a warm-toasted finish, grill the wrap in the pan for 1 minute per side.

Notes

Whisk egg whites gently to trap air for fluffiness. Cook on medium-low heat to avoid rubbery texture. Fold veggies gently into eggs to keep airiness. Warm tortilla before assembling to prevent cracking. Reheat gently in skillet to avoid sogginess. Use gluten-free or almond flour tortillas for gluten-free option. Optional add-ons include fresh herbs and reduced-fat cheese.
