This tortilla wrap recipe is the perfect healthy meal for your family.
It’s easy to make, and all the fresh ingredients raise the bar on what tortilla wraps should be.
Add a salad on the side, and it’s a filling meal for everyone.
It’s simple to make one. First, prepare all the ingredients.
Beat the egg, grate the cheese, and slice the rest of the ingredients.
You can go for any cheese you desire, but this recipe uses cheddar and feta.
Cut the tomatoes, feta cheese, and olives into equal sizes.
It is essential to soak the tortilla in cold water before placing it in the pan.
Adding moisture to corn tortillas would make them more pliable or flexible, so they won’t break when you flip them or add weight to them.
Not missing this step is important since this tortilla wrap will be filled with many ingredients.
Pour the egg on the tortilla’s surface, brush to spread it evenly, and sprinkle the cheese.
Use only half of both egg and cheese on each side.
Others who tried this recipe added more egg or poured the other half of the egg after they flipped over the wrap for a crunchier exterior.
But the best part of this recipe are the fresh ingredients inside the wrap.
You have cherry tomatoes, olives, basil, and feta cheese; what’s not to love?
Another option is to add some leftover meat you have – ham, turkey, chicken, fish… anything!
Just ensure you can still fold the sides and seal the wrap properly.
Lastly, there’s a bonus salad recipe that you can put on the side.
You can prepare it while the tortilla wrap is cooking in the pan.
Serve them on a plate and have a filling meal your family would enjoy.
