Ingredients
-
1 large egg
-
1 small flour tortilla (8-inch)
-
¼ cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or pepper jack)
-
1 tsp butter, oil, or cooking spray
Optional Add-Ins:
-
Turkey bacon or ham (pre-cooked and chopped)
-
Sliced avocado
-
Handful of spinach
-
Hot sauce, salsa, or sriracha mayo
Instructions
-
Heat the Pan
Preheat a non-stick or cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add butter or oil. -
Smash the Egg
Crack the egg into the center of the hot pan. Place the tortilla directly on top. Press firmly with a spatula for 5–10 seconds to spread the egg to the edges. -
Cook the Egg Side
Let it cook 2–3 minutes until the egg white is set and the egg has bonded to the tortilla. Look for a lacy golden edge. -
Flip
Slide a spatula under the wrap and flip it carefully. The tortilla side is now against the pan. -
Add Cheese & Fillings
Sprinkle cheese and any optional fillings on the egg side. Let them melt for about 30 seconds. -
Fold & Crisp
Fold the wrap in half and press gently. Cook 1–2 minutes per side until golden and crispy. -
Serve
Slice in half on a diagonal and enjoy immediately. Optional: serve with salsa, avocado crema, or fresh fruit.
Notes
-
Medium-low heat prevents burning the tortilla before the egg cooks.
-
Firm smash ensures the egg spreads to the edges for a sealed wrap.
-
Sauté dense veggies first to avoid watery wraps.
-
Meal prep caution: Best fresh, but can store for up to 2 days and reheat in toaster oven or air fryer for crunch.
