Ingredients:
This recipe makes one Crunchwrap. Feel free to multiply for more servings!
- For the Filling:
- 1 large flour tortilla (burrito size)
- 1/4 cup scrambled eggs
- 1/4 cup cooked sausage, crumbled (or bacon, chorizo, or vegetarian sausage)
- 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon salsa (your favorite kind!)
- For Assembly:
- 1 small flour tortilla (for the outer crunch)
- Cooking spray
Instructions:
Step 1: Prepare the Filling
First, scramble your eggs in a small pan over medium heat. Once cooked, set aside. While the eggs cook, you can prepare your sausage (or other protein) according to package directions. Crumble it up once cooked.
Step 2: Assembling the Crunchwrap
Lay your large flour tortilla flat on a clean surface. Sprinkle half of the cheese over the tortilla. Next, add the scrambled eggs, followed by the crumbled sausage, and finally, a spoonful of your favorite salsa. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.
Step 3: Folding the Crunchwrap
Carefully fold the tortilla in half over the filling. Then, fold the bottom edge up about 2 inches, and then the top edge down, creating a neat rectangular shape, essentially sealing the filling inside the tortilla.
Step 4: The Crunch
Lightly spray a large skillet or griddle with cooking spray and heat over medium heat. Place your folded tortilla in the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Use a spatula to carefully press down on the Crunchwrap to ensure even cooking and a nice, crisp exterior. Make sure the cheese is melted and the tortilla is nicely browned.
Step 5: The Final Touch
Carefully remove the Crunchwrap from the pan and let it cool slightly before cutting it in half (or eating it whole, we won't judge!). Serve immediately and enjoy!
Tips and Variations:
- Spice it up: Add a pinch of chili powder or your favorite hot sauce to the filling for extra heat.
- Veggie Power: Add sautéed onions, peppers, or mushrooms to the filling for a heartier and healthier Crunchwrap. Black beans would also be a delicious addition.
- Cheese Please: Experiment with different cheeses! Pepper jack, Monterey Jack, or a blend would all be tasty.
- Make it a Meal Prep: These Crunchwraps are great for meal prepping! Prepare the filling ahead of time and assemble them in the morning for a quick and easy breakfast on the go. Store unassembled in the fridge for later.
