Ingredients
  

4 large eggs

1/4 cup milk

Salt and pepper, to taste

4 whole wheat or spinach tortillas

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, divided

1/2 cup diced bell peppers (choose red, green, or yellow for color)

1/2 cup diced onions

1/2 cup cooked and crumbled turkey bacon or sausage (optional)

2 tablespoons olive oil, divided

Fresh herbs (such as chives or cilantro), chopped (optional)

Salsa or hot sauce for serving (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until the mixture is well combined and slightly frothy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

    Cook the Vegetables: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the diced bell peppers and onions. Sauté for approximately 4-5 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and fragrant.

      Add the Optional Meat: If you're using turkey bacon or sausage, add it to the skillet with the veggies. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the meat is heated through and combined with the vegetables.

        Scramble the Eggs: Pour the egg mixture into the skillet with the sautéed vegetables and optional meat. Allow the eggs to cook, stirring gently with a spatula, until they are just set but still slightly creamy, about 3-4 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in half of the shredded cheddar cheese until melted and evenly mixed in.

          Warm the Tortillas: In a separate pan or on a griddle, warm each tortilla for about 30 seconds on each side to make them more pliable. This helps prevent tearing when wrapping.

            Assemble the Wraps: Place a generous scoop of the egg and cheese mixture in the center of each warmed tortilla. Top with the remaining shredded cheddar cheese and sprinkle with fresh herbs if desired.

              Wrap it Up: Fold in the sides of the tortilla towards the center, then roll from the bottom up to enclose the filling securely, creating a wrap. Ensure the filling is held tightly inside.

                Final Toast (Optional): For an extra crispy texture, return the assembled wraps to the skillet with the remaining olive oil, seam-side down. Toast for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.

                  Serve: Cut the wraps in half at a diagonal and serve warm, accompanied by salsa or hot sauce for dipping.
