Ingredients
Wrap Ingredients
- 1 large tortilla or wrap
Filling
- ½ cup cooked barley
- 1 cup fresh spinach
- ¼ cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1 egg (scrambled or fried)
- 1 tsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the spinach: Heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the fresh spinach and sauté until it is wilted and tender, about 2-3 minutes.
- Warm the barley: Add the cooked barley to the skillet with the spinach. Stir gently and warm through for 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Cook the egg: In a separate pan or the same skillet pushed to the side, cook the egg to your preference—scrambled or fried—until fully cooked but still soft and moist.
- Assemble the wrap: Lay the tortilla flat and evenly spread the warm barley and spinach mixture down the center. Add the cooked egg on top, followed by sprinkling the crumbled feta cheese over everything.
- Wrap and toast: Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll tightly into a wrap. Optionally, place the wrap back into the skillet and lightly toast on both sides for 1-2 minutes each, to warm the tortilla and slightly melt the feta.
Notes
- Add a spoonful of tzatziki or hummus inside the wrap for extra flavor and creaminess.
- Use leftover cooked barley to save time and enhance the convenience of this breakfast.
- You can substitute spinach with kale or Swiss chard for a variation.
- For a vegan version, replace the egg with scrambled tofu and use a plant-based feta alternative.
