  • Simple to prepare and easy to customize.
  • Portable—great for breakfasts on the go or meal prep.
  • Uses wholesome ingredients like quinoa, egg whites and spinach.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup uncooked quinoa
  • 1/2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/4 cup salsa (choose your favorite)
  • 1 Tbsp chopped cilantro
  • 1 cup liquid egg whites
  • Pinch of salt and pepper
  • 2 cups baby spinach
  • 4 whole wheat tortillas (10-inch)
  • Optional toppings: avocado, tomatoes, shredded cheese

Instructions

  1. Rinse the quinoa thoroughly. In a small saucepan, combine the rinsed quinoa with 1/2 cup of water and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat, cover and simmer for about 13 minutes. Remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.
  2. Stir the cumin, salsa and chopped cilantro into the cooked quinoa. Taste and adjust seasoning if desired, then set aside.
  3. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and lightly spray with cooking spray or use a small amount of oil. Add the liquid egg whites, season with a pinch of salt and pepper, and stir frequently until they are set and just cooked through, about 2–3 minutes.
  4. To assemble, lay a tortilla flat and layer about 1/2 cup fresh spinach, 1/4 cup of the quinoa mixture, and a portion of the scrambled egg whites. Add any optional toppings like slices of avocado, diced tomatoes, or a sprinkle of shredded cheese.
  5. Roll the tortilla tightly, slice in half if desired, and serve immediately. Wraps also refrigerate well—store in an airtight container for up to 2 days and reheat gently.

Tips and variations

  • Make the quinoa ahead of time and refrigerate to speed up morning assembly.
  • Swap the salsa for a mild pico de gallo, roasted tomato salsa, or a black bean and corn salsa to change the flavor profile.
  • For extra protein, add black beans, cooked chicken, or lean turkey. For a dairy-free option, skip the cheese and use avocado for creaminess.
  • If you prefer a softer wrap, warm the tortilla briefly in a dry skillet or microwave before filling.
  • To make a vegetarian boost, add roasted vegetables such as bell peppers or zucchini to the quinoa mix.

This recipe is very adaptable. Use your preferred whole-grain tortilla, try different salsas for varying heat levels, or add fresh herbs for brightness. The combination of cumin, salsa and cilantro gives the quinoa a pleasant Mexican-inspired flavor, but you can change the spices—smoked paprika, chili powder or a touch of lime juice also work well.
