Ingredients
Egg Mixture
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tsp olive oil or ghee
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1 1/2 cups cottage cheese
Fresh Toppings
- 1 large avocado, diced
- 1 medium tomato, diced
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped
- Optional: squeeze of fresh lime
Wrap
- 2 tortillas
Instructions
- Prepare the eggs: Crack the eggs into a bowl, add a pinch of salt and black pepper, and whisk thoroughly until well combined for a uniform scramble.
- Cook the eggs: Heat olive oil or ghee in a skillet over medium-low heat. Pour in the eggs and cook gently, stirring slowly to keep the eggs soft and creamy without drying out.
- Add cottage cheese: When the eggs are nearly set, stir in the cottage cheese and cook for another 30 to 60 seconds until the mixture is warmed through and creamy, then remove from heat.
- Make fresh topping: In a small bowl, combine diced tomato, diced avocado, chopped fresh parsley, a pinch of salt, and a squeeze of lime juice if using. Mix gently to blend flavors without mashing the ingredients.
- Warm the tortillas: Heat the tortillas on a dry skillet for 10 to 20 seconds per side until soft and pliable, ready to wrap without cracking.
- Assemble the wrap: Place the creamy egg and cottage cheese mixture in the center of each warm tortilla. Top generously with the fresh tomato and avocado mixture. Optionally, add an extra squeeze of lime for brightness.
- Wrap it up: Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it tightly to enclose the filling securely.
- Optional toasting: For a golden, slightly crisp finish, toast the assembled wrap in a pan or toaster for 1 to 2 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Use a non-stick skillet for easier cooking and cleanup.
- Ghee can be substituted for olive oil for a richer flavor and higher smoke point.
- Adjust salt and pepper to taste depending on dietary preferences.
- Optionally add hot sauce or chili flakes for some heat.
- This wrap can be customized with other herbs such as basil or chives.
- For a gluten-free option, substitute tortillas with gluten-free wraps.
