Pesto and eggs. A combination you may not have thought to try, and one that might even sound a little weird at first. But let me tell you, it’s good. Really good. Especially if you’re a pesto-lover like me.
These Pesto Vegetable Egg Wraps are not only tasty, they’re nutritious and balanced. To me, a balanced dish provides multiple food groups at once. Eating balanced meals not only make us more likely to get the nutrients we need, they also help us feel full and satisfied.
In this recipe, we have fibre-rich carbohydrates and vegetables, quality protein from eggs, and healthy fat from our pesto.
How to Make Pesto Vegetable Egg Wraps:
Start out by sautéing some spinach in a frying pan with a couple teaspoons of oil over medium heat. Once the spinach is wilted down, transfer it from the pan to a bowl and set aside for later.
Add another teaspoon of oil to your pan. Add diced bell pepper and red onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until tender.
Whisk eggs and add them to the pan with the bell pepper and onion and stir with a spatula for another 3-4 minutes in a gentle, circular motion, pushing the eggs around until cooked.
Next, assemble the wraps! To two large whole wheat tortillas, add 1 tablespoon of pesto to each and divide cooked spinach into each wrap. Divide the egg scramble on top of the spinach. If you like, sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese!
Gently fold up wrap starting with ends then rolling closed. Serve wraps immediately and enjoy!
When to Eat Pesto Vegetable Egg Wraps:
Now I know a wrap with eggs would traditionally be considered a breakfast wrap – but I beg to differ! In my opinion, eggs are so versatile, affordable, and nutritious that they should be enjoyed any time that you want them!
Personally, I’ve enjoyed these wraps for breakfast, lunch and dinner! And I always keep eggs stored in my fridge as an easy protein addition to any meal – like wraps and sandwiches!
