Ingredients

  • 1 High Fiber Tortilla see options in the notes
  • 4 Egg Whites
  • 1/2 cup Spinach
  • 1/3 cup Mushrooms diced
  • 1/4 cup Low Moisture Cheddar Cheese shredded
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Salsa for topping

Instructions

  • Spray a skillet with avocado oil and bring to medium heat. Add the spinach and mushrooms. Cook 2-3 minutes until the spinach is wilted.
  • Add the egg whites to the skillet with garlic powder, salt and pepper. Cook 3 minutes until the edges and center are fully cooked. Cover and cook another 2 minutes until it's fully cooked through like a pancake.
  • Remove the egg white from the pan and place on a plate. Take the tortilla and run it under a small drizzle of water. Shake the water off the tortilla then add it to the pan flat.
  • Place the cheese on the tortilla and egg white on top. Fold in half and cook 1 minute then flip and cook another minute. Remove from the skillet and serve!

Notes

  • I used a Whole Wheat Carb Balance tortilla for this recipe. You can do any high fiber tortilla. For gluten free, I recommend a brown rice tortilla.
