Cheesy Spinach Frittata Tortilla Wrap

All hail the tortilla wrap hack trend that has taken over our social newsfeed and maybe news channels! And now, this foodie has jumped on the tortilla wrap bandwagon to satisfy my Instafam‘s request for breakfast wraps. So here goes something …

I am yet to understand why spinach is sold in massive bags! I would like to believe it is to get us to eat more veg but I highly doubt it. However, you and I do need to beef up on our veg whenever possible.

Make That Tortilla Wrap

And for eaters like myself who aren’t big fans of the green stuff, it’s best to just get it over with in the morning. Whip it in a shake, or steam it and stir through frittata with Parmigiano Reggiano, then seal in a perfect tortilla wrap with a secret fold of cheese.

Spinach: The recipe uses 30g of already cooked spinach with the water squeezed out. You can use frozen spinach as well, just make sure you completely thaw it first then squeeze out the water.

Butter: I used browned butter, but you can use regular butter insead 🙂

What type of cheese? Oh well, use the light Leedameer and trick yourself into thinking it’s healthy because it’s lighter than its counterpart. Or mellow things down with Parmigiano splits that are sure to melt, teasing your tastebuds with their nutty flavors.

Did I forget the freshly ground black pepper? Why how dare me?!!!! You absolutely need to add a good few shakes of that in the spinach frittata to really make it sing!

Oh, there is also a fold featuring thinly sliced ham that I am sure your spinach will get jealous of. So ‘marry’ them in this simple tortilla wrap and devour like it is your first meal in too long! Just thought of this right now, but you could also use cooked pancetta

Eh ehm, you know I would not leave you without a ‘make your own’ option for the tortilla wrap. If it is one of those days when you ran to the store and forgot to buy some or you just don’t have some at home then I’ve got you. Run to your pantry and prepare to make my super simple flour tortilla.

Make the tortilla a day ahead, then the spinach frittata in the morning. You can also make the frittata a day ahead and store it in the fridge then fill and toast in the tortilla wrap before serving. Though I do recommend making the spinach frittata on the day you plan to eat it.
