Whip up a delightful meal that’s as heartwarming as it is delicious with our Egg-Topped Tortilla Delight recipe.
This isn’t just any tortilla wrap; it’s a burst of flavors and colors that promises to be a hit at any mealtime.
The internet has been raving about its simplicity, and we’re right there with them.
Every bite offers the rich taste of cheese, the freshness of basil, and the tang of cherry tomatoes, all wrapped up in a golden tortilla that’s cooked to perfection.
One of the best things about this recipe?
It’s all about making it your own.
While we’ve listed cheddar and feta as our go-to cheeses, don’t let that limit you.
Maybe you’re in the mood for mozzarella’s creaminess or the pepper jack kick.
Or perhaps you’re feeling a bit fancy and want to sprinkle in some gouda. Go for it!
And if you’ve got some leftover roast or grilled meat, toss it in for an added layer of flavor.
Just remember to fold your tortilla neatly so all that goodness stays inside.
Ingredients:
For the Tortilla Wrap:
- 1 corn tortilla
- 1 egg
- 1 cup cheese (cheddar recommended)
- 4 cherry tomatoes (or 1 medium-sized tomato)
- A sprinkle of feta cheese
- 4 olives
- A handful of fresh basil leaves
For the Side Salad:
- 2 cucumbers
- 2 sprigs of spring onions
- 1 ripe avocado
- 2 tbsp. lemon juice
- A pinch of red pepper flakes
- A dash of salt
Cooking Steps:
Begin by whisking the egg in a bowl. Grate your chosen cheese and keep both aside.
To keep your tortilla from tearing while cooking, dampen it with a splash of cold water. Lay it flat in a pan over gentle heat.
Drizzle half of the whisked egg over the tortilla, ensuring an even spread.
Shower it with half of the grated cheese and let it sizzle for a brief moment.
Time to flip!
Turn the tortilla over and repeat with the remaining egg and cheese.
Here’s where the magic happens.
Layer the center of the tortilla with tomatoes, feta cheese, olives, and basil.

Gently fold the tortilla, tucking in all the ingredients. For those who like a little kick, a sprinkle of red pepper flakes will do the trick.
While your tortilla turns a beautiful golden brown, let’s whip up the salad.
Slice the cucumbers, spring onions, and avocado and toss them into a bowl.
Drizzle with lemon juice, sprinkle with red pepper flakes and salt, and give it a hearty mix.
