Ingredients
Ingredients
flour tortillas
2 (or gluten-free wraps)
applewood smoked bacon
2 (sliced, center cut)
mushrooms
4-5 (sliced)
red onion
1/4 cup (chopped)
jalapeno pepper
1/2 (seeded and minced)
eggs
3 (beaten)
Greek yogurt
2 tablespoons (for creamy consistency)
baby spinach
1 cup (packed)
Instructions
1
In a heavy skillet, cook the applewood smoked bacon over medium heat until crisp. Once cooked, remove the bacon from the skillet and set it aside on a paper towel to absorb excess grease. Wipe out the skillet using a paper towel to remove any residual fat.
2
In the same skillet, add the sliced mushrooms and sauté them over medium-high heat until they are nicely browned, about 5 minutes. Then, add the chopped red onion and minced jalapeño pepper, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are softened and fragrant.
3
In a mixing bowl, beat together the eggs and Greek yogurt until well combined. Pour the mixture over the sautéed vegetables in the skillet. Using a spatula, gently push the uncooked portions of the egg towards the center of the pan. Continue cooking until the eggs are fully set, stirring occasionally. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
4
While the egg mixture finishes cooking, microwave the flour or gluten-free wraps for 10 to 15 seconds to warm them up, making them more pliable.
5
To assemble the wraps, divide the egg and vegetable mixture evenly between the warmed tortillas or wraps. Crumble the crisped bacon on top, followed by a generous handful of packed baby spinach leaves. Roll the wrap burrito-style, securing it with a toothpick if needed.
6
Serve immediately while warm, alongside a refreshing side of fruit for a complete breakfast experience.
