Are you hungry? Because I know I am all the time! As college students we don’t really have enough time opportunity to sit down and eat a healthy, proper meal any time of the day. But rather than trying to pick up a non-healthy breakfast bar from your coffee shop every morning, instead make yourself a healthy low-carb eggs and peppers tortilla wrap in a very short amount of time and stay full throughout the day.
This healthy morning recipe is fun and very delicious. It is also low-carb and low-fat for those who want to stay in shape and stay healthy even with a busy schedule.
The Ingredients:
-1 Low Carb Tortilla
-1 Dash of Milk (optional)
-2 Eggs
-1/3 Bell Pepper (any color)
-1 Tbsp. Fat Free Sour Cream
Directions:
1. First, dice the pepper into small, less-than-bite-sized pieces.
2. Heat a frying pan to a medium heat and begin frying the peppers.
3. Crack the eggs into a bowl for beating; adding a splash of milk will result in fluffier eggs. Use a fork and beat until thoroughly mixed.
4. By now the peppers should be fairly well cooked. Pour the egg mixture into the pan.
5. Using a spatula, separate the giant egg-pepper mass and move the ingredients around to ensure adequate cooking.
6. Once cooked, remove the mixture from the pan and place on a plate or in a bowl.
7. Heat the tortilla momentarily in the frying pan.
8. Now, spread the sour cream across one side of the tortilla. Make sure the edges of the tortilla are covered – the sour cream is the paste that holds the wrap together.
9. Spoon the egg/pepper mixture into the tortilla. Spread evenly across the entire tortilla.
10. Finally, roll up your wrap. Go slowly and make sure the ingredients wrapped, not pushed forward. Slightly lift up on the tortilla as you wrap it and this shouldn’t be a problem.
There you have it – a remarkably delicious, healthy, quick and easy way to have a well-balanced meal and stay full throughout the day. Enjoy!
P.S. Don’t forget your juice.
