Ingredients
  • 5 ounces Fresh Spinach
  • 1/2 cup Feta Cheese
  • 4 Eggs
  • 1/4 Red Onion
  • 1 clove Garlic
  • 1 tsp Lemon Juice
  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 4 Large Flour Tortillas
  • To taste Salt
  • To taste Pepper

Sauté Spinach and Onions

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced red onion and cook until softened, about 3-5 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant. Add the spinach and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Squeeze lemon juice over the spinach and stir to combine.

Scramble the Eggs (Optional)

In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper. Pour the eggs into the skillet and cook, stirring gently, until they are set but still slightly moist. If you prefer a vegan option, omit the eggs or substitute with crumbled tofu.

Assemble the Burritos

Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for a few seconds to make them pliable. Spread a layer of the spinach mixture on each tortilla, followed by the scrambled eggs (if using), and crumbled feta cheese. Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll up tightly to form a burrito.

Serve Immediately

Serve the burritos immediately. They are best enjoyed warm. You can also add a dollop of Greek yogurt or sour cream on top, if desired.
