Directions
Prepare the Ingredients
Start by washing and drying the spinach leaves. Set them aside while you separate the egg whites from the yolks, ensuring you have 4 large egg whites ready.
Sauté the Spinach
In a non-stick pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the spinach and sauté until wilted, which should take about 2-3 minutes. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Cook the Egg Whites
Pour the egg whites into the pan with the spinach. Cook while stirring gently until the egg whites are set, around 3-4 minutes. Stir in the crumbled feta cheese and chili flakes if using.
Assemble the Wrap
Warm the tortilla in a pan or microwave for a few seconds until pliable. Place the egg white mixture onto the tortilla, roll it up tightly, and slice in half.
