01 - 2 large whole wheat tortillas
02 - 4 large eggs
03 - 1 teaspoon olive oil
04 - Salt and black pepper, to taste
→ Fillings
05 - 1 cup cottage cheese, low-fat or regular

# How-To Steps:
01 - Whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper in a medium bowl until well combined.
02 - Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add eggs and scramble gently until just set but still moist, approximately 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.
03 - Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for 10-20 seconds until pliable.
04 - Lay each tortilla flat and spread half the cottage cheese down the center of each.
05 - Layer with scrambled eggs, avocado slices, tomato, red onion, and spinach on top of the cottage cheese.
06 - Add hot sauce, salsa, or fresh herbs if desired.
07 - Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll up tightly from the bottom to form a secure wrap.
08 - Slice each wrap in half and serve immediately.
# Expert Suggestions:
01 -
- The cottage cheese creates this incredible creamy texture that pairs perfectly with scrambled eggs, and you get 25 grams of protein without even thinking about it
- Everything comes together in about 15 minutes, and you can customize the fillings based on what's sitting in your crisper drawer
02 -
- Don't overcook your eggs, because they'll keep cooking slightly from residual heat and dry out in the wrap
- Pat your diced tomatoes with a paper towel if they seem especially juicy, or you'll end up with a soggy bottom situation
03 -
- Use room temperature cottage cheese for easier spreading and better distribution throughout the wrap
- If your tortillas crack when folding, pop them in the microwave with a damp paper towel for 20 seconds
