Equipment

  • 1 Nonstick skillet Prevents sticking and makes flipping easier
  • 1 Spatula Wide spatula works best
  • 1 Fork For breaking yolks
  • 1 Cutting board & knife For slicing the wrap

Ingredients

  • 1 large Flour tortilla 8–10 inches
  • 2 large Eggs Fresh is best
  • ¼ cup Shredded cheese Cheddar, pepper jack, or mozzarella
  • 1 tablespoon Butter or oil spray For cooking
  • Salt To taste
  • Black pepper To taste
  • ¼ cup Diced tomatoes Optional
  • 2 tablespoons Diced onions Optional
  • 1 handful Fresh spinach or arugula Optional
  • 1 slice Cooked bacon or ham Chopped, optional
  • 1 tablespoon Sour cream Optional
  • Hot sauce or green sauce Optional
  • Avocado Sliced, optional

Instructions

  • “In our house, this is where the magic starts. Heat your nonstick skillet over medium heat and melt the [butter]. My daughter Olivia always waits for the sizzle, it’s her favorite sound in the kitchen.”
  • “Lay the [tortilla] flat in the pan. Crack the [eggs] right onto one half and gently break the yolks with a fork. Olivia calls this ‘painting with eggs.’”
  • “Season with [salt] and [black pepper], then sprinkle on the [shredded cheese]. This is always Olivia’s job, she never skimps on cheese.”
  • “Add any extras like [tomatoes], [spinach], or [bacon]. This is where kids can customize their own breakfast creations.”
  • “Fold the empty side of the tortilla over the eggs into a half-moon shape. Gently press it down so everything stays tucked inside.”
  • “Cook 2–3 minutes until golden, flip carefully, and crisp the other side. Olivia cheers every successful flip like it’s the Olympics.”
  • “Slice in half and serve warm with [avocado], [sour cream], or [hot sauce]. It’s the kind of breakfast that disappears fast.”

Notes

  • “For a gluten-free version, use a certified gluten-free tortilla.”
  • “For extra protein, swap cheese for cottage cheese.”
  • “Store leftovers wrapped in foil in the fridge up to 2 days.”
  • “Freeze individually and reheat in a skillet for quick school mornings.”
  • “This wrap pairs beautifully with fresh fruit or a green smoothie.”
