Ingredients
Scale
Egg Mixture
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 pinch pepper
- ¼ cup baby spinach, roughly chopped
- 2 tablespoons bell pepper, finely diced
- 1 scallion, chopped
Tortilla and Fillings
- 1 small 6-inch flour tortilla (preferably Mission soft fajita tortilla)
- 1 teaspoon olive oil (or olive oil spray)
- 2 slices cooked bacon, crumbled
- 2 tablespoons shredded cheese
- 2 tablespoons feta cheese, crumbled
Instructions
- Prepare Egg Mixture: In a small bowl, scramble the egg with a tablespoon of milk, and add salt, pepper, chopped spinach, diced bell pepper, and chopped scallion. Mix well to combine.
- Preheat Pan: Heat a 6-inch non-stick pan over medium heat. Brush with a teaspoon of olive oil or spray generously with olive oil spray to prevent sticking.
- Cook Egg Base: Pour the scrambled egg mixture into the pan and tilt the pan to spread the egg evenly, similar to making crepes.
- Partially Cook Egg: Let the egg cook for about 30 seconds until mostly set but still slightly wet on top.
- Press Tortilla: Gently press the tortilla onto the partially cooked egg in the pan, ensuring it adheres well. Use a spatula or carefully your hands to press.
- Flip Egg and Tortilla: After another 30 seconds, use a silicone spatula to flip the egg with the tortilla now on bottom. Cook for 30 seconds to 1 minute until tortilla warms without burning.
- Add Fillings and Roll: Remove the tortilla to a plate, spread crumbled bacon, shredded cheese, and feta cheese evenly on top. Use spatula and fork if needed to carefully roll the tortilla tightly into a roll.
- Seal and Heat Roll: Return the rolled tortilla seam-side down back to the pan and cook for 30 seconds to seal and warm the roll thoroughly.
- Serve: Carefully transfer the roll to a plate or wire rack to cool slightly, then slice in half and serve warm.
Notes
- Be careful when pressing and flipping the hot tortilla and egg to avoid burns.
- You can customize the fillings with other vegetables or cheese varieties.
- Use a non-stick pan for best results and easier flipping.
- Ensure the tortilla does not burn during cooking by monitoring heat level.
- This recipe is quick and designed for a single serving; scale as needed.
