Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces whole-grain tortillas
- 4 pieces large eggs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 60 grams feta cheese, crumbled
- 100 grams spinach, fresh
- 150 grams cherry tomatoes, halved
- 0.25 cups red onion, thinly sliced
- 50 grams black olives, sliced
- 2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk the eggs with salt and pepper until thoroughly mixed.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the spinach and sauté until wilted, about 2 minutes. Remove spinach from the skillet and set aside.
Add another tablespoon of olive oil to the same skillet. Add the sliced onion and cook until softened, about 3 minutes.
Pour the whisked eggs into the skillet with the onions and gently scramble them. Stir frequently until the eggs are just set, about 3-4 minutes.
Remove the skillet from heat and gently fold in the sautéed spinach, halved cherry tomatoes, sliced black olives, and crumbled feta cheese.
Warm the whole-grain tortillas on a skillet or in a microwave for a few seconds until soft and pliable.
Divide the egg mixture evenly between the two tortillas.
Sprinkle chopped fresh basil over the egg mixture on each tortilla.
Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll up from the bottom, tucking in the edges to form a burrito.
Cut in half if desired and serve warm. Enjoy your Mediterranean Diet Classic Breakfast Burrito!
