Ingredients

  • 4 whole grain tortillas (50 g each)
  • 4 egg whites
  • 4 whole eggs
  • 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1/2 cup green olives, sliced
  • 1 cup arugula
  • 1 dash ground black pepper
  • 1/2 cup tahini
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/3 cup warm water

Instructions

  1. Crack the whole eggs and egg whites into a medium bowl. Beat until well combined.
  2. Stir in feta, green olives, and black pepper.
  3. Heat a pan over medium heat with oil spray. Scramble the egg mixture until fluffy but slightly undercooked. Remove from heat and divide into four portions.
  4. In another pan over medium heat, lightly oil and place a tortilla. Spoon one portion of egg mixture on half, fold over, and cook 1–2 minutes per side until golden. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.
  5. Serve warm, topped with fresh arugula.
  6. Optional: Blend tahini, salt, garlic powder, and warm water until smooth. Refrigerate and serve as a sauce.

Notes

  • Use spinach instead of arugula for a milder flavor.
  • Add tomatoes, herbs, or sun-dried tomatoes for extra variety.
  • Allow scrambled eggs to cool slightly before filling to avoid soggy tortillas.
  • Feta and olives offer strong savory notes—balance with fresh greens or tahini sauce.
  • Use gluten-free tortillas if needed.
