US Customary - Metric

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

High Fiber Wraps: Some of my favorites to use are these Mission Whole Wheat Carb Balance tortillas, Mission Gluten Free Carb Balance tortillas, or Xtreme Wellness tortillas.
Use a Non-Stick Skillet: A non-stick skillet helps prevent sticking, making flipping easier, and it’s key to getting that perfect crispy texture.
Whisk Well: Whisk the egg whites thoroughly to incorporate air for a fluffier filling and lighter texture.
Storing: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 2 months. Reheat by thawing in the fridge and warming in a pan until crispy.
