There’s this trend going around right now called the ‘Tortilla Trend’ where you take a tortilla and cut it halfway through the middle and then proceed to fill each quarter segment of it with different things and then fold it over on itself to make a tasty wrap. I decided to take that idea and make into more of an omelette with some of my favorite breakfast burrito fillings.
This 'Tortilla Trend' Omelette is pretty easy to make though it does take a little bit of know-how and a gentle hand when it comes to the folding it over, but outside of that this is just as easy as any standard omelette to make!
To make this 'Tortilla Trend' Omelette just little more health conscious, I used one whole egg and then a white plus some low fat cottage cheese to give a boost of protein and stretch out the egg usage a bit more. I also used a reduced fat shredded cheese and loaded in the fresh pico to get all the veggies in there that I could.
You could really put your own spin on this and pick out your own omelette or breakfast burrito favorites for filling. Some other good options would be a lean breakfast sausage, more veggies, or different kinds of cheeses!
