Ingredients

• ▢ 2 teaspoons olive oil
• ▢ ½ red onion (diced)
• ▢ 1 red bell pepper (diced)
• ▢ 4 eggs
• ▢ ⅛ teaspoon salt
• ▢ ⅛ teaspoon pepper
• ▢ 4 handfuls of spinach leaves (or 2 oz frozen with liquid squeezed out)
• ▢ ½ cup feta (crumbled)
• ▢ 4 tortillas
• ▢ 1 cup mozzarella cheese (shredded)

Instructions 

• In a large non-stick pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
• Add the red onion and bell pepper, and sauté until softened, 5-7 minutes.
• Beat the eggs, then add to the pan along with the spinach and feta cheese. Scramble for 2-3 minutes until eggs are fully cooked through and the spinach and feta are completely mixed in.
• Remove pan from heat.
• To a clean pan, add two tortillas (propped up on each other in the middle).
• Spoon ¼ of the filling onto half of the tortilla, then sprinkle with ¼ cup of the mozzarella cheese.
• Press the second half of the tortilla over onto the topping and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden and cheese is melted.

Storage

• Cool completely and store in a meal prep container (for 1-2 days). For longer storage, you will want to wrap in plastic wrap before storing in a meal prep container or reusable bag.
• Store in the fridge for up to 4 days or the freezer for up to 3 months.

To re-heat

• To reheat from refrigerator: fry up on medium in a frying pan, or heat on grill for 2-3 minutes.
• To reheat from freezer: heat in the microwave on top of a paper towel for 30-60 seconds, then crisp up in the frying pan or grill for 2-3 minutes.
