Ingredients
- 1.5 cups liquid egg whites
- 2 cups packed baby spinach
- 1 cup halved cherry tomatoes
- 1 small diced zucchini
- 0.5 diced red bell pepper
- 1 minced garlic clove
- 0.5 tsp dried oregano
- 0.5 tsp kosher salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- as needed olive oil spray
- 2 large whole-wheat or low-carb tortillas
- 0.25 cup nonfat Greek yogurt
- 1 tsp fresh lemon juice
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh basil or parsley
Instructions
- 1Lightly spray a large nonstick skillet with olive oil and set over medium heat. Add the diced zucchini and red bell pepper and cook 4 to 5 minutes until softened and lightly golden at the edges.
- 2Stir in the minced garlic, halved cherry tomatoes, and oregano. Cook another 2 minutes until the tomatoes begin to blister and release juice. Season with salt and pepper.
- 3Add the baby spinach and toss just until wilted, about 1 minute. Transfer the vegetable mixture to a plate and wipe the skillet clean.
- 4Respray the skillet lightly and pour in the egg whites. Cook over medium heat, gently scrambling or letting them set into a thin sheet, until fully opaque and just firm, 3 to 4 minutes.
- 5Warm the tortillas briefly so they flex without cracking. Stir lemon juice into the Greek yogurt to make a quick light sauce.
- 6Spread a thin layer of lemon yogurt on each tortilla. Layer half the cooked egg whites and half the sautéed vegetables down the center of each.
- 7Sprinkle chopped herbs over the filling. Fold the sides in and roll tightly into wraps, or stack the filling and fold like a flat packet.
- 8Slice each wrap in half on the bias if desired and serve warm. The stacks should feel light, packed with vegetables, and high in protein without heaviness.
