Egg Whites And Smoked Chicken In Wrap
A protein-packed, low-fat breakfast wrap featuring fluffy egg whites, savory smoked chicken, and fresh vegetables, all nestled in a wholesome whole wheat tortilla.
For 1 serving
Prepare your ingredients: Thinly slice the smoked chicken breast and bell pepper. Wash the fresh spinach leaves thoroughly and set aside.
Cook the egg whites: Heat the olive oil in a small non-stick pan over medium heat. Pour in the egg whites and scramble gently until fully cooked through and fluffy. Season with a tiny pinch of salt and black pepper, then remove from the pan and set aside.
Warm the tortilla: Briefly warm the whole wheat tortilla in the same pan for about 30 seconds per side, or microwave for 15-20 seconds, until it is soft and pliable.
Assemble the wrap: Lay the warm tortilla flat on a clean surface. Arrange the spinach leaves, sliced bell pepper, scrambled egg whites, and smoked chicken down the center of the tortilla.
Roll and serve: Fold in the short sides of the tortilla over the filling, then tightly roll it up from the bottom. Serve your Egg Whites And Smoked Chicken In Wrap immediately and enjoy.
