Ingredients
Scale
Egg Mixture
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon milk
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Cooking Fat
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
Fillings
- 1 cup fresh spinach, roughly chopped
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 ripe avocado, sliced
Wrap
- 2 large whole wheat or flour tortillas
Optional
- Hot sauce or salsa for serving
Instructions
- Whisk the Eggs: In a bowl, whisk together the 4 large eggs with 1 tablespoon of milk, adding salt and black pepper to taste. This creates a smooth mixture for softly scrambled eggs.
- Cook the Eggs: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil or butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Pour in the egg mixture and cook, stirring gently and continuously, until eggs are softly scrambled and just set.
- Add the Spinach: Stir in the roughly chopped fresh spinach and cook for 1–2 minutes until wilted, integrating the greens smoothly into the eggs.
- Warm the Tortillas: Heat the tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat or microwave them briefly until pliable and easy to fold without cracking.
- Assemble the Burritos: Divide the egg and spinach mixture evenly between the tortillas. Top each with shredded cheddar cheese and sliced ripe avocado. Add hot sauce or salsa if desired for a spicy kick.
- Wrap the Burritos: Fold in the sides of each tortilla and roll tightly into burritos. For on-the-go convenience, wrap each burrito tightly in foil or parchment paper to keep warm and intact.
