Ingredients
- 16 ounces egg whites
- 5 ounces baby spinach
- Parmesan cheese, shredded, to taste
- 1 teaspoon Mediterranean seasoning or Italian seasoning (or your favorite seasoning)
- 1 - 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- corn tortillas, flour tortillas or almond tortillas (I used almond tortillas)
Optional Add-ins
- chopped red bell pepper
- chopped fresh chives
- chopped green onion
- chopped red onion
- chopped tomato
- chopped fresh herbs
Here’s how to make it:
Sauté spinach in olive oil and seasonings until wilted, about 1 to 2 minutes. Add any extra add-ins now and cook until soft. Add egg whites and Parmesan, stir to combine. On very low heat, allow mixture to simmer slowly until eggs are cooked through, about 8 to 10 minutes. It will rise and appear fluffy, like a soufflé.
Divide into six or eight pie-shaped slices. Put each slice in a tortilla that you have warmed in a pan, microwave or oven. Add toppings such as tomatoes or avocado slices, and even a dab of sour cream or guacamole. Serve with a side of chicken sausages, if desired.
