Ingredients

(Tip: You can find the complete list of ingredients and their measurements in the recipe card below.)

  • 1 large flour tortilla
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 avocado, mashed
  • 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 tablespoons salsa (with or without ground meat)
  • 1 teaspoon butter or olive oil (for scrambling eggs)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Butter or spray oil for grilling

Directions

  1. In a small skillet, melt the butter or heat the oil over medium heat. Scramble the eggs until just cooked and fluffy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  2. Lay the tortilla flat on a work surface and make a cut from the center straight down to the bottom edge.
  3. Mentally divide the tortilla into four equal quadrants:
    • Bottom left: add shredded mozzarella
    • Bottom right: place the scrambled eggs
    • Top right: spread mashed avocado
    • Top left: spoon on the salsa
  4. Starting at the bottom left quadrant, fold the tortilla up and over each section in a clockwise direction to form a compact triangle-shaped wrap.
  5. Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or spray oil.
  6. Grill the wrap for 2–3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
  7. Slice and serve warm.

Storage/Reheating

FAQs

Can I make this wrap ahead of time?

Yes, assemble and refrigerate it for up to a day. Reheat in a skillet to maintain texture.

What size tortilla should I use?

Use a large (10-inch) flour tortilla for optimal folding and filling capacity.

Can I use whole eggs or just egg whites?

Either works, depending on your dietary preference. Egg whites make it lighter in calories.

How do I keep the wrap from falling apart?

Don’t overfill, and ensure the layers are evenly spread to allow for easy folding and grilling.

Is this wrap freezer-friendly?

Freezing is not recommended due to the avocado and salsa, which don’t freeze well.

Can I grill this on a panini press?

Yes, a panini press works great and helps crisp both sides evenly.

What other spreads can I use instead of avocado?

Try hummus, cream cheese, or Greek yogurt as a base.

How do I prevent the tortilla from burning?

Use medium heat and watch closely—2 to 3 minutes per side is typically enough.

Can I use corn tortillas instead?

Corn tortillas are smaller and less flexible, so they may not fold as well for this method.

What can I serve with this wrap?

Pair it with fresh fruit, yogurt, or a green smoothie for a complete breakfast.

The Grilled Breakfast Tortilla Wrap is a simple yet flavorful way to enjoy a complete breakfast in one tidy, handheld package.
