Scrambled Egg and Cheese Wraps are a simple, tasty breakfast or snack. They’re made with fluffy scrambled eggs and melted cheese wrapped in a soft tortilla, perfect for on-the-go eating.
I like to add a little salsa or hot sauce for some extra flavor. Sometimes I make these in the morning, and they make me smile before the day begins!
If you want a healthier option, try adding some veggies like spinach or peppers. They toast up nicely in the microwave or on the stove for a quick, filling meal.
Ingredients & Substitutions
Eggs:
Fresh eggs give the wraps a fluffy texture and mild flavor. I recommend whisking them well for even cooking. If you want a lighter feel, try whites only or use egg substitutes found in stores.
Cheese:
Cheese adds gooey richness. Cheddar is common, but for something milder, try Monterey Jack. I like using shredded cheese for even melting. You can swap with queso fresco or a vegan cheese if needed.
Flour Tortillas:
Soft flour tortillas hold everything together. Warm them slightly before rolling for better flexibility. Corn tortillas work too but may crack. Whole wheat are a healthy swap.
Additional fillings (optional):
Adding cooked bacon, ham, or veggies can boost flavor. I sometimes toss in chopped peppers or spinach for color and nutrients. Just ensure everything is pre-cooked for easy assembly.
How do I fold the wrap without tearing it?
Start by placing fillings slightly off-center on the tortilla. Fold one side over the fillings, hold it tight. Then fold the bottom, and continue rolling tightly until sealed. Keep your hands firm but gentle to prevent tearing the tortilla.
- Warm the tortilla briefly to make it more flexible.
- Don’t overstuff the wrap; less filling makes it easier to fold and reduces tearing.
- Hold the edge firmly as you roll to keep fillings inside.
- If tearing happens, simply patch with a small piece of tortilla and continue rolling.
