- Ready In:
- 9mins
- Ingredients:
- 6
- Yields:
-
1 wrap
- Serves:
- 1-2
ingredients
- 1 large flour tortilla
- 1⁄2 ounce of grated mozzarella cheese
- 1 scrambled egg
- 1 strip bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 3 tablespoons frozen chopped spinach, thawed
- 1 tablespoon ready-made bruschetta
directions
- Preheat electric grill or panini press to medium hot temperature.
- Scramble the egg and cook the bacon or sausage. It's nice to have these ingredients pre-made and kept in airtight containers in the fridge.
- Regardless when you cook them, always start assembling the sandwich with precooked meats and eggs.
- Assemble the wrap by laying out the tortilla on a flat surface or large plate, brush with olive oil for taste if you prefer.
- Spoon on a few tablespoons of thawed chopped spinach or use a few leaves of fresh spinach.
- Sprinkle on grated cheese, any variety will do, or use sliced cheese if you prefer.
- Sprinkle on bacon or sausage crumbles, or strips of ham, etc.
- Add the cooked, scrambled egg.
- Then roll up the tortilla burrito style, by tucking each end and rolling to about 1 1/2 inch thickness so all ingredients are nicely wrapped and tucked inside.
- Spray the grill, if you must, with a little non-stick cooking spray and place the wrap(s) on the grill.
- Cook just until lightly toasted on each side, about three minutes.
- Serve with bruschetta, grated Parmesan cheese, avocado slices, salsa -- or leave off the toppings and make it "to go".
- No panini press or electric grill, no problem! Just place the wrap in a hot, non-stick skillet for a couple of minutes on each side, flipping once.
- The possibilities are endless with this sandwich. Make it completely vegan or all meat, use white flour, fat-free, or whole wheat tortillas, make it Mexican or Italian, chicken or turkey, use black beans, asparagus, sour cream, or cheddar.

I come from a very large family which attributed to my mother spending a great deal of her time in the kitchen cooking, cleaning, and preparing. I was fascinated at how she prepared wonderful dishes (especially desserts) without using a cookbook. We grew many of our own fruits and vegetables and my summers were spent washing jars and preparing fruit and vegetables for canning. I dreaded the mountains of green beans, tomatoes, peaches, etc., etc. that had to be picked, washed, peeled, snapped.... More than anything, I hated spending my summer washing jars!
But now, I wouldn't trade that kind of upbringing for anything. I'm glad I learned how to do all those things because it's becoming a lost art. It really was a simpler time then and I'm a much better person for knowing how to do all those 'old fashioned' things.
In my early years of learning to cook, I watched Julia Child on PBS every chance I got. I was so thrilled when I was about 11, my mother let me prepare Julia's Pastry Tarts. If I remember correctly they didn't turn out so well but it didn't matter.
Oddly, today, I enjoy reading cookbooks and recipes even more than actually cooking.
