How To Make An Egg Tortilla Breakfast Wrap

Bring an 8" or 10" skillet to medium high heat and add a little oil. Add greens and a wee bit of salt and cook until wilted.

No mixing bowl is necessary, simply crack the egg directly in the middle of the pan in the center of the wilted greens.

Lay the tortilla on top and smash the egg while rotating the tortilla to get it covered all over by the smashed egg. Cook for ~ 1 minute or until egg and greens stick to the tortilla.

Then the egg and tortilla wrap is flipped over (with tongs or a spatula) and the other (empty) side is filled with strained black beans, cheese, and salsa.

The egg and tortilla quesadilla are cooked for ~ 1 minute more or until the outside browns perfectly and has a beautiful crunch.

Fillings for An Egg Tortilla Breakfast include:

More protein - beans, ham, bacon, prosciutto, leftover ground beef or chicken. Use two eggs instead of one. Use your favorite beans: kidney, black, pinto, garbanzo beans.
Greens - easy packaged spinach or arugula come to mind because they cook very fast. Kale, swiss chard, or collards would be excellent.
Herbs - a pinch of thyme, rosemary, basil, parsley, etc.
Spice it up with cayenne pepper, hot sauce, salsa, or sambal olek or sriracha
Vegetables - keep your egg quesadilla healthy by adding peppers, tomatoes, or mushrooms.
Cheese - Colby jack is my favorite for melting, but any cheese will work: cheddar, feta cheese, mozzarella cheese, goat cheese, sour cream, etc...
Avocado, Guacamole

Troubleshooting Egg Tortilla Breakfast Wraps

Wraps not brown on the outside? Be patient kemosahbee. The egg wrap probably just needs more time cooking. If all else fails, turn up the heat and add a little butter. Butter browns fast and burns even faster, so watch it carefully.

Soggy egg tortilla wrap? Make sure to strain the filling ingredients of any liquid. For example, black beans need to be strained and also a runny salsa may need to be strained.

Having trouble flipping the egg quesadilla? Get zen. You got this! Use tongs or a spatula. If all else fails, remove the egg tortilla pan from the heat, let it cool a bit and grab it carefully with your fingers.
