Ingredients

  • 1 handful baby spinach chopped small
  • 1 tbsp sundried tomatoes chopped small
  • 2 large eggs whisked
  • 1/2 tsp taco seasoning optional
  • butter or cooking spray for cooking
  • 1 large whole wheat tortilla
  • 1/3 cup cheddar cheese grated

Instructions

  • Prepare ingredients: chop vegetables and grate cheese, and set aside. Whisk eggs with taco seasoning, and set aside.
  • Prepare pan: Heat a medium pan (about the size of your tortilla) to medium heat. Add butter or cooking spray to lightly coat the pan.
  • Add vegetables: Add your spinach and sundried tomatoes and cook until spinach is wilted, about 1 minute. Use a spatula to evenly distribute the vegetables throughout the pan before adding your eggs.
  • Add eggs and tortilla: Pour eggs on the pan and make sure they're evenly distributed. Then, immediately add your tortilla on top and press lightly so they stick together. Cook untouched for 2-3 minutes or until eggs are completely set and lightly golden brown.
  • Flip and add cheese: Gently flip your tortilla. Sprinkle cheese evenly over the egg and cover. Cook an additional 1-2 minutes or until tortilla is lightly golden brown on the bottom and cheese is slightly melted.
  • Cool, roll, and slice: Transfer tortilla to a large plate or cutting board. Cool for 1-2 minutes or until you're able to comfortably touch the tortilla. Roll the tortilla, cool again if needed, and slice into 6-8 pinwheels.
