A quick, easy, and nutritious egg white veggie wrap perfect for busy mornings or light meals, combining fluffy egg whites with sautéed fresh veggies in a whole wheat tortilla.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large egg whites (approx. 120 ml or 4 fluid ounces)
  • ½ cup diced bell peppers (red or yellow)
  • 1 cup fresh baby spinach, loosely packed
  • 1 stalk green onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 small garlic clove, minced (optional)
  • 1 large whole wheat tortilla (8-inch/20 cm diameter)
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
  • A few sprigs fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Dice ½ cup bell peppers, slice 1 green onion thinly, and roughly chop 1 cup baby spinach. Mince 1 garlic clove if using. This should take about 3 minutes.
  2. Place a nonstick skillet over medium heat and add 1 teaspoon olive oil. Let it warm until shimmering but not smoking (about 30 seconds).
  3. Toss in the bell peppers, green onion, and garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 2 minutes until softened but still crisp. Add spinach last and stir until just wilted (about 30 seconds). Season lightly with salt and pepper.
  4. Pour 4 large egg whites evenly over the veggies in the skillet. Sprinkle ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika if using. Let the egg whites set on the bottom without stirring for about 1 minute.
  5. Using a spatula, gently fold the egg whites over the veggies to create a loose omelet shape. Cook another 30 seconds until the egg whites are fully set but still moist.
  6. While the eggs cook, warm the whole wheat tortilla in another dry pan or microwave for 10 seconds to make it pliable.
  7. Slide the egg white and veggie mixture onto the center of the tortilla. Add fresh herbs if desired. Fold one side over, then roll tightly to form the wrap.
  8. Cut in half if desired and serve immediately for best texture.

Notes

Avoid overcooking egg whites to prevent rubbery texture. Use gentle heat and fold quickly. Warm the tortilla before assembling to prevent cracking. Pre-chopped frozen bell peppers can be used as a shortcut. Optional additions include low-fat cheese, avocado, hummus, or fresh herbs for extra flavor.
