The Breakfast Wrap Blueprint
Ingredients for a Pair:
- 2 oversized tortillas (wheat or whole grain)
- 2 eggs
- 100g creamy cheese
- 1 (yes, just one!) ripe avocado
- A handful of peppery arugula, if you fancy
- 6 cherry tomatoes, sliced to bite size
- 1/4 cucumber, peeled and sliced
- Salt and ground pepper, to personal taste
- Fire things up with chili flakes or a couple drops of Sriracha, if you dare!
Preparation:
- Mix the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper. In a non-stick pan over medium heat, scramble the eggs for around 2-3 minutes or until they're set. Set aside to cool slightly.
- Gently warm the tortillas in a dry pan or zap them in the microwave for 10 seconds to enhance their pliability.
- Lay your tortillas out on a clean surface, then slather half of the creamy cheese on the lower half - otherwise, that filling might seek escape when rolling.
- Joust with avocado: Slice in half, yank out the pit, scoop out the flesh, and swiftly divide it into thin slices. Deploy them on the cheese.
- Quarter the tomatoes and safeguard the cucumber from any unwanted harm by slicing it thin. Share them equally among the tortillas.
- Looky-loo, the eggs are cool enough; deploy them atop the veggies! Then, sprinkle a dusting of peppery arugula, if it's your leafy fav.
- Time to roll: Fold the bottom edge over the filling, then squeeze in the sides, and, lastly, roll it up snugly.
- On-the-go? Wrap it in parchment paper and secure it from frisky unraveling with a rubber band or string.
