What you will need
This recipe uses 6 simple ingredients that you can find at any grocery store:
- 3 whole eggs
- 2 whole large flour tortillas
- 0.5 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.25 cup finely diced zucchini
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon butter
Step by step instructions
Step 1: Whisk the Eggs
Crack the eggs into a bowl and add the milk. Whisk vigorously until fully combined and slightly frothy. Season lightly with a pinch of salt and pepper if desired.
Step 2: Cook the Veggies and Eggs
Melt the butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the finely diced zucchini and saute for 2 minutes until slightly softened. Pour the egg mixture over the veggies and cook, stirring gently with a spatula, until the eggs are just set and still slightly soft.
Step 3: Add Cheese and Warm Tortillas
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella over the scrambled eggs and stir gently until the cheese begins to melt. Meanwhile, warm the flour tortillas in the microwave for 15 seconds or in a dry pan for 30 seconds until pliable.
Step 4: Assemble and Wrap
Spoon half of the cheesy egg and veggie mixture down the center of each warm tortilla. Fold in the sides and roll up tightly into a wrap. Cut in half diagonally and serve immediately while warm.
Easy substitutions
Missing an ingredient? Here are some swaps that work perfectly:
- zucchini → finely chopped spinach wilts quickly into the eggs and is virtually undetectable to picky eaters
- mozzarella cheese → cheddar or American cheese melts even more smoothly and has a bolder flavor many kids prefer
Common mistakes to avoid
Watch out for these pitfalls that can affect your results:
- Cooking the eggs on heat that is too high makes them rubbery and dry instead of soft and creamy
- Not warming the tortilla before wrapping causes it to crack and tear when you try to fold it up
