Ingredients
  

For the Wraps
  • 4 large tortillas or flatbreads
  • 6 eggs
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 cup crumbled Bulgarian feta cheese sirene
  • 1/3 cup ajvar
  • 1 roasted red pepper sliced
  • 1 small cucumber diced
  • 1 tomato diced
  • 2 tbsp chopped parsley
  • 2 green onions sliced
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste
  • Chili flakes or chili oil optional
Optional Additions
  • Avocado slices
  • Spinach
  • Kalamata olives
  • Grilled chicken
  • Sautéed mushrooms
  • Greek yogurt drizzle
  • Lutenitsa instead of ajvar
  • Turkish sucuk sausage

Equipment

  • 1 Nonstick skillet
  • 1 Mixing bowl
  • 1 Spatula
  • 1 Cutting board
  • 1 Knife

Method
 

  1. Whisk the eggs with salt and black pepper in a bowl until smooth.
  2. Heat olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Add the eggs and cook slowly, stirring gently, until soft and creamy.
  3. Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet for about 20 seconds per side to make them flexible.
  4. Spread ajvar across the center of each tortilla.
  5. Add scrambled eggs, sirene cheese, roasted peppers, cucumber, tomato, parsley, and green onions.
  6. Add chili oil or additional toppings if desired.
  7. Fold the sides inward and roll tightly into wraps.
  8. Place the wraps seam-side down in a skillet and toast for 1–2 minutes per side until lightly golden and crisp.
  9. Serve warm.

Notes

  • For meal prep, store fresh vegetables separately until serving.
  • Lutenitsa can be used instead of ajvar for a slightly sweeter flavor.
  • Whole wheat tortillas work well for extra fiber.
  • Reheat wraps in a skillet for the best texture.
The contrast between crispy toasted tortilla, creamy eggs, and fresh vegetables is what makes these wraps especially satisfying.
