A quick, nutritious, and low-calorie breakfast wrap featuring fluffy egg whites, fresh veggies, and zesty homemade salsa, perfect for a healthy start to your day.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large egg whites (about 180 ml or 3/4 cup)
  • 1/2 cup diced bell peppers (red and yellow mix preferred)
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
  • 1 cup fresh baby spinach, roughly chopped
  • 1/2 cup halved cherry tomatoes
  • 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
  • One 8-inch whole wheat tortilla
  • 1/2 cup fresh salsa (homemade or store-bought, low-sodium preferred)
  • A few sprigs fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: squeeze of lime juice

Instructions

  1. Dice 1/2 cup bell peppers, finely chop 1/4 cup red onion, halve 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, and roughly chop 1 cup fresh spinach. Set aside. (5 minutes)
  2. Pour 6 large egg whites into a bowl, add a pinch of salt and pepper, and whisk until slightly frothy. (2 minutes)
  3. Heat 1 teaspoon olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add diced bell peppers and onions; cook for 3-4 minutes until softened but still crisp. Add spinach and cherry tomatoes; stir for another 1-2 minutes until spinach wilts. (6 minutes)
  4. Pour whisked egg whites evenly over the sautéed vegetables. Let cook undisturbed for 2 minutes until edges start to set. Gently fold mixture with a spatula to scramble softly; cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until cooked through but still moist. (5 minutes)
  5. Warm the whole wheat tortilla in a dry pan or microwave for about 15 seconds until pliable.
  6. Spoon the egg white veggie scramble onto the center of the warm tortilla. Top with 1/2 cup fresh salsa and sprinkle chopped cilantro. Optionally, squeeze lime juice over the top.
  7. Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll tightly from one end to the other. Serve immediately while warm and fresh. (2 minutes)

Notes

Use medium heat to avoid rubbery egg whites. Whisk egg whites well for fluffiness. Keep veggies slightly crisp for texture. Warm tortilla before assembling for easier folding. Store salsa separately if prepping ahead to avoid sogginess.
