A breakfast wrap folded into a triangle from one cut tortilla, then crisped in a pan.

Place on a flat service:

1 large burrito-sized tortilla

Use scissors or a knife to make a cut from the bottom edge of the tortilla to the center.

Heat in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat:

1 tablespoon butter plus more for greasing pan

Whisk in a small bowl, then pour into the center :

2 eggs

Dash sea salt

When the edges start to set, start to gently fold the eggs. Fold until the eggs are cooked through, about 2-3 minutes.

Picture the slit tortilla as four quarters. Transfer the scrambled eggs to the bottom right quarter.

Add to the second quarter:

½ avocado mashed

Follow with the salsa in the third and the cheese in the fourth:

2 tablespoons salsa

3 tablespoons shredded mozzarella cheese

Starting with the bottom right quarter, fold the tortilla over the second quarter. Then fold over the third quarter and finally, over the last quarter to form a triangle shape.

Transfer the tortilla to the same skillet or a grill pan with a little extra butter for greasing. Cook the tortilla on one side, pressing down firmly with a flat spatula, about 2-3 minutes. Cook until golden brown and crispy. Flip and cook on the other side for 2 more minutes. Cook until the cheese is melty and the edges are crisp.

Remove from heat and allow to rest for one minute before slicing in half.
