4 Ways To Make the World’s Easiest High-Protein Breakfast Wrap in 45 Seconds Flat

Figuring out a breakfast that’s both healthy and can be done while you’re still half-asleep can be tricky.  It is in these moments of strife where this easy breakfast wrap formula was born. Inspired by Nadiya Hussain‘s crispy egg roll recipe, it is incredibly versatile and can be adapted to fit all kinds of healthy eating plans. “I can’t think of a single ingredient that’s as fast or as flexible as eggs,” says Hussain. “These rolls are like an omelette that have been wrapped in a tortilla.”

The breakfast-y version that is one Well+Good editor’s go-to is made with five ingredients—one scrambled egg (which contain 6 grams of protein) seasoned with Penzey’s Sunny Paris, one corn or flour tortilla, one slice of ham, and one slice of Swiss cheese.

And with the help of the Foundational Five breakfast formula from McKel Hill Kooienga, RDN, the variations are truly endless to make an easy breakfast wrap that’s vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free… whatever fits your lifestyle. She previously told Well+Good that breakfast should be comprised of the following:

1. 1.
   Protein: beans, legumes, tempeh, tofu, seitan, quinoa, nuts, seeds, nut butter, grass-fed lean beef, eggs, seafood, and poultry
2. 2.
   Fat: extra virgin olive oil, olives, avocado oil, avocados, nuts, seeds, nut butter, salmon, tuna, mackerel, sardines, coconut, and coconut oil
3. 3.
   Starchy or sugary carbohydrates: potatoes, oats, quinoa, rice, bread, pasta, beans, peas, corn, and fruit
4. 4.
   Non-starchy carbohydrates: greens and vegetables, like arugula, kale, romaine, Brussels sprouts, tomatoes, and cucumbers
5. 5.
   Flavor factor: sauce or mustard, herbs, spices, or seasonings

Each of the recipes below make an easy breakfast wrap to start your day off right.
