When I first served this to my family, it became an instant favorite. The blend of tender spinach, fluffy eggs, and salty feta pleased even the pickiest eaters, making it a breakfast staple at our table. Plus, it’s simple enough for kitchen beginners but flavorful enough to impress seasoned cooks.

Ingredients

To make one hearty wrap, gather:

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup fresh spinach, washed and chopped
  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium-sized tortilla wrap
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Optional: pinch of red pepper flakes for a little kick

Instructions

Step 1: Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. When the oil shimmers, add the chopped spinach. Stir occasionally until the spinach wilts down to a glossy, deep green—about 2-3 minutes.

Step 2: In a small bowl, whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper. Pour the eggs into the skillet with the spinach. Stir gently and cook until the eggs are just set but still soft.

Step 3: Sprinkle the crumbled feta over the eggs and spinach. Let it melt slightly as you fold it in. If you enjoy a little heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes now.

Step 4: Warm the tortilla wrap for a few seconds in a pan or microwave to make it flexible. Spoon the egg, spinach, and feta mixture into the center.

Step 5: Fold the sides of the tortilla in, then roll it up tightly like a burrito. Slice in half if you want. Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
