Ingredients
-
1 large flour tortilla
-
2 eggs
-
½ ripe avocado
-
3–4 tbsp grated mozzarella, cheddar or preferred cheese
-
2–3 tbsp tomato salsa
-
1 tsp butter or cooking oil
-
Salt, to taste
-
Black pepper, to taste
-
Chilli flakes or hot sauce, optional
How to Prepare
1. Prepare the scrambled eggs
Crack the eggs into a bowl and season with salt and black pepper. Whisk well.
Heat butter or oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the eggs and cook gently, stirring until softly scrambled. Remove from the heat and set aside.
2. Prepare the avocado
Scoop the avocado into a small bowl. Mash it with a fork and season lightly with salt. A little lemon or lime juice may also be added.
3. Cut the tortilla
Place the tortilla flat on a clean surface. Make one straight cut from the centre of the tortilla to the bottom edge. This allows the tortilla to be folded into four sections.
4. Add the fillings
Imagine the tortilla divided into four quarters.
-
Spread tomato salsa over the first quarter.
-
Spread mashed avocado over the second quarter.
-
Add scrambled eggs to the third quarter.
-
Sprinkle grated cheese over the fourth quarter.
Avoid overfilling so that the wrap folds neatly.
5. Fold the tortilla
Starting from the quarter next to the cut, fold it over the following section. Continue folding the tortilla quarter by quarter until it forms a compact triangular wrap.
6. Toast the wrap
Heat a frying pan, sandwich press or panini grill over medium heat.
Place the folded wrap in the pan and cook for approximately 2–3 minutes on each side. Press gently while cooking until the tortilla is golden and crisp and the cheese has melted.
How to Serve
Cut the toasted wrap in half and serve immediately. Enjoy it with extra salsa, guacamole, sour cream or hot sauce on the side.
For a complete breakfast, serve with fresh fruit, hash browns, a green salad or a hot cup of coffee.
