Ingredients

  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
  • 1/2 cup queso fresco, crumbled
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 small flour tortillas
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
  • 1 avocado, sliced (for serving)

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, salt, pepper, and garlic powder until well combined.

  2. 2

    In a non-stick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the fresh spinach and sauté for about 2 minutes, or until wilted.

  3. 3

    Pour the egg mixture into the skillet with the spinach. Cook, stirring gently with a spatula, until the eggs are just set, about 3-4 minutes.

  4. 4

    Remove the skillet from heat and gently fold in the crumbled queso fresco and chopped cilantro if using.

  5. 5

    Warm the flour tortillas in another skillet or microwave briefly until pliable.

  6. 6

    Serve the scrambled eggs on the tortillas, topped with sliced avocado.
