High Protein Breakfast Wrap Cottage Cheese Avocado (Print Version)

Protein-rich morning wrap with scrambled eggs, cottage cheese, avocado, and fresh vegetables in a warm tortilla.

# What You Need:

→ Wrap Base

01 - 2 large whole wheat tortillas (10-inch diameter)
02 - 4 large eggs
03 - 1 teaspoon olive oil
04 - Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

→ Fillings

05 - 1 cup cottage cheese (low-fat or regular)
06 - 1 ripe avocado, sliced into strips
07 - 1 small tomato, diced
08 - 1/4 small red onion, thinly sliced
09 - 1 cup fresh baby spinach leaves

→ Optional Toppings

10 - Hot sauce or salsa to taste
11 - Fresh chives, cilantro, or parsley, chopped

# How to Prepare:

01 - Crack eggs into a medium bowl and whisk thoroughly with a pinch of salt and pepper until yolks and whites are fully combined.
02 - Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pour in egg mixture and scramble gently with a spatula, pushing eggs across the pan until just set but still moist, approximately 2–3 minutes. Remove from heat immediately to prevent overcooking.
03 - Place tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for 10–15 seconds per side, or microwave for 10–20 seconds until warm and pliable. This prevents cracking during rolling.
04 - Lay each warmed tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread half the cottage cheese evenly down the center of each tortilla, leaving about 1 inch border on edges.
05 - Divide scrambled eggs between the two tortillas over the cottage cheese. Top with avocado slices, diced tomato, red onion, and spinach, distributing ingredients evenly.
06 - Sprinkle with additional salt and pepper if desired. Add hot sauce, salsa, or fresh herbs according to preference.
07 - Fold in the left and right sides of the tortilla about 1 inch toward the center. Starting from the bottom edge closest to you, roll the tortilla tightly and securely upward, enclosing all fillings.
08 - Slice each wrap diagonally in half and serve immediately while warm.
