Fluffy scrambled eggs, crispy bacon, spinach, and gooey cheese wrapped in golden tortillas for a tasty morning bite.

# Components:

→ Eggs & Dairy

01 - 4 large eggs
02 - 1/4 cup milk
03 - 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
04 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

→ Meats (optional)

05 - 4 strips bacon, cooked and chopped

→ Vegetables

06 - 1/2 cup baby spinach, chopped
07 - 1/4 cup red bell pepper, diced
08 - 2 green onions, sliced

→ Tortillas

09 - 4 large flour tortillas (10-inch diameter)

→ Seasonings

10 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
11 - 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

# Directions:

01 - In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until thoroughly blended.
02 - Heat 1 tablespoon butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Pour in the egg mixture and scramble gently until softly set, about 3 to 4 minutes.
03 - Fold in cooked bacon, baby spinach, diced bell pepper, sliced green onions, and half the shredded cheddar. Stir until ingredients are evenly distributed.
04 - Briefly warm tortillas in a microwave or dry skillet until pliable.
05 - Distribute egg-and-vegetable filling evenly down the center of each tortilla. Top with remaining cheddar cheese.
06 - Fold in the sides of each tortilla, then roll tightly to enclose the filling and create pocket shapes.
07 - Melt remaining butter in a clean skillet over medium heat. Place pockets seam-side down and cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, gently pressing, until golden and cheese is melted.
08 - Transfer to plates and serve immediately, or wrap in foil for a portable breakfast.
