-
Whisk the egg whites with the pepper until smooth. Heat the oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat, add the spinach and cook for 1 minute, until wilted.
-
Pour in the egg whites and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, pushing them gently from the edges to the centre, until just set but still soft. Stir in the feta.
-
Warm the tortillas for 20 seconds on each side in a dry pan. Spread each with 2 tbsp of the salsa.
-
Divide the egg mixture between the tortillas, fold in the sides and roll up tightly. Cut in half and serve.
What Can Go Wrong
- Warm the tortillas first; cold ones crack when rolled.
- If you like more heat, add a few drops of hot sauce to the salsa.
- Press the spinach dry if the leaves are wet from washing.
Good to Know About Egg White Breakfast Wrap
It is a breakfast burrito's lighter cousin: the same wrapped warmth, with egg whites and spinach in place of sausage and cheese. Feta does the seasoning. A little goes a long way, and the whole thing is ready in 13 minutes.
Soft scrambled whites are the base. Whisk the whites well first, so the scramble is even and fine. Keep the heat at medium, push the eggs gently from the edges to the centre and stop while they still look slightly moist, because they carry on setting in the tortilla. Spinach goes in first and wilts in under a minute, so the wrap holds greens as well as protein. Salsa adds moisture and a little heat without extra fat.
Warm the tortillas for a few seconds in a dry pan so they bend without cracking. Fill the middle and fold in the sides. Roll tightly. Wrap the finished roll in foil if you are taking it with you.
