One-Egg Green Chile Frittata Wraps

One-egg green chile frittata wraps are a perfect, healthy grab-and-go breakfast for one. Roasted green chiles are quickly sautéed before adding eggs, cheese, sour cream, and S &P. 10 minutes from start to finish!

If you could make yourself a delicious, healthy breakfast in less than 10 minutes that you could eat on the way to work, wouldn't you?

You can be honest. I'm not much of a breakfast person myself—I used to skip it all the time.

But I've realized that (for me at least) brain fuzz sets in around 10:30 am if I skip. 

For this reason, I've come up with strategies so that I rarely ever miss breakfast anymore (all discussed more in Confessions of a Former Skipper).

My favorite breakfast these days in a one-egg frittata. I have a little non-stick pan that's the perfect size for a single serving (it could still accommodate another egg if needed).

Sometimes it's just a plain frittata with salt and pepper; other times I sauté leftover vegetables—or, in this case, roasted green chiles from the garden.

I also keep some perfectly good tinned roast chiles in my pantry when the fresh stuff isn't available.

I stumbled upon the idea of a frittata wrap one morning when I needed to leave but hadn't given myself enough time to actually eat my frittata after it finished cooking.

So, I nuked a tortilla in the microwave for 10 seconds, flopped my frittata on top, rolled it up, and presto! Breakfast on the go. No mess in the car!

I love roasted green chiles in these wraps (we are chile heads in this house), but if you're heat-averse, you can use roasted sweet peppers instead.

Preparing Green Chile Frittata Wraps

Making the frittata

These green chile frittata wraps are soooo easy to make.

They're a simple matter of sautéing the green chiles to remove excess moisture while whisking the eggs together with sour cream, salt, and pepper (I use a tiny whisk, but you can use a fork).

Add the egg mixture to the sautéed chiles and spread the mixture evenly around the pan (don't worry about uniform ingredient distribution).

As the eggs begin to set up, run a spatula around the edges to loosen, and gently swirl the pan to let any excess, loose egg mixture run to the edges.

Then, finish under a high broiler (with the rack in the middle of the oven), keeping the door cracked open. Watch carefully to be sure that the eggs don't brown!

Meanwhile, warm a tortilla (I use the burrito size, but not the super-large ones).

When the frittata starts to look a little puffy and nothing jiggles if you gently shake the skillet, remove the frittata from the oven.

Assembling the green chile frittata wraps

You'll never wonder how to roll a burrito again after you make these wraps!

I lay the frittata on top of the tortilla, but not in the center: you can see in the image below that I line up the edges of the frittata and the tortilla on the side facing away from me.

Then I fold up the bottom of the tortilla (taking the bottom edge of the frittata with it). Then I choose one side to work from and roll, roll, roll.

That's it! You've got yourself a breakfast on the go.

Note that you may have to adjust the cooking time for this frittata recipe slightly, depending on your stove & oven.

Scaling up One-Egg Green Chile Frittata Wraps

You can easily make a larger frittata and divide it as necessary among additional tortillas.

Make sure to use a larger nonstick skillet and increase the cooking time as needed.

One-Egg Green Chile Frittata Wraps are an easy, delicious, go-to breakfast. I hope you love them as much as I do. Enjoy!
