Why Microgreens in Your Breakfast?
Microgreens are small but mighty, packed with a concentrated dose of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Adding microgreens to your breakfast not only boosts the nutritional value of your meal but also adds a burst of flavor and crunch. They’re an easy way to incorporate more greens into your diet and make your breakfast both nutritious and delicious.
Ingredients:
- 1 whole-grain tortilla (or your favorite type of tortilla)
- 1 ripe avocado
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1/2 cup mixed microgreens (such as arugula, radish, or spinach)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/4 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, feta, or your choice)
- 1 small tomato, diced
- 1/4 cup cooked black beans (optional)
- Hot sauce (optional, for a bit of heat)
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Avocado Spread: In a small bowl, mash the avocado with a fork. Add lemon juice, salt, and pepper to taste. Mix well and set aside. This creamy avocado spread will be the base of your wrap.
-
Cook the Eggs: Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the skillet and cook them to your liking. For a classic breakfast wrap, cook them sunny-side up or scrambled. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
-
Assemble the Wrap: Lay the whole-grain tortilla flat on a plate. Spread the mashed avocado evenly over the tortilla. Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the avocado spread. Next, layer the microgreens, diced tomato, and black beans (if using) on top.
-
Add the Eggs: Carefully place the cooked eggs on top of the layered ingredients. If you’re using sunny-side-up eggs, be gentle to avoid breaking the yolks.
-
Wrap and Serve: Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling and roll it up from the bottom, tucking in the sides as you go to create a tight wrap. Slice in half and serve immediately.Â
-
Optional Toppings: For an extra kick, drizzle a bit of hot sauce over the eggs or sprinkle some extra herbs on top.
Tips and Variations:
- Veggie Add-Ins: Feel free to add other vegetables like sautéed mushrooms, bell peppers, or spinach to the wrap for added flavor and nutrition.
- Protein Boost: Add cooked bacon, sausage, or tofu for extra protein.
- Cheese Choices: Experiment with different types of cheese to find your favorite combination.
