Directions

Prepare the Eggs: Crack the eggs into a bowl, add milk or water, and season with salt and pepper. Whisk until well combined.
Cook the Eggs: Heat olive oil or butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Pour in the beaten eggs and cook, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are fully cooked and scrambled. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
Warm the Tortilla: While the eggs are cooking, warm the tortilla in another pan or microwave for 10-15 seconds until soft and pliable.
Assemble the Wrap: Once the eggs are cooked, remove them from the skillet and set them aside. Place the warm tortilla on a flat surface. Layer the scrambled eggs in the center of the tortilla, then top with shredded cheese, spinach, diced tomato, and any optional toppings like avocado or onion.
Wrap It Up: Carefully fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it up from the bottom to form a tight wrap.
Serve: Slice the wrap in half if desired and serve with a side of salsa or hot sauce for extra flavor.
