Ingredients
Scale
- 1 large whole grain tortilla
- 1/2 cup cottage cheese
- 1 ripe avocado, sliced
- 2 large eggs, scrambled
- 2 tablespoons diced tomato
- 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro
- 1 teaspoon lime juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: spinach, feta, turkey bacon, hot sauce
Instructions
- Heat a dry skillet over medium heat and place the tortilla in it. Warm for 15-20 seconds on each side until flexible, being careful not to make it too crispy.
- In a non-stick skillet, cook the eggs over medium to low heat, stirring constantly until just set. Season lightly with salt and pepper, about 2-3 minutes.
- Lay the warm tortilla flat on a clean work surface. Spread 1/2 cup cottage cheese evenly in the center.
- Add the scrambled eggs, avocado slices, diced tomato, and chopped cilantro on top of the cottage cheese. Ensure the ingredients are evenly distributed for delicious bites.
- Squeeze 1 teaspoon lime juice over the fillings and season with additional salt and pepper as desired. The lime juice adds freshness and a pleasant acidity.
- Fold the short ends of the tortilla in and then roll it up tightly from the bottom to form the wrap, making sure the filling is well enclosed.
- Place the wrap seam side down in the hot skillet and press lightly. Toast for 1-2 minutes on each side until golden brown and warm.
- Cut the wrap diagonally in half and serve hot, or wrap in parchment paper to enjoy on the go.

Keywords: Avoid overcooking the eggs by stirring gently and removing them from heat while still slightly moist. Use a high-quality non-stick skillet to prevent sticking and make flipping the wrap easier. Experiment with the amounts of cottage cheese and avocado to find your perfect balance of creaminess and flavor.
