- 1 cup cooked chicken or turkey
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese
- 4 whole wheat tortillas
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 1/2 cup salsa

Instructions
- Whisk the eggs in a bowl with a pinch of salt and pepper until blended smoothly.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a splash of olive oil or a light coat of cooking spray.
- Scramble the egg mixture in the skillet, stirring until fluffy and fully cooked.
- Warm the tortillas either on a separate pan or in the microwave to make them soft.

Notes
To ensure eggs are perfectly cooked, remove from heat while slightly runny as they will continue cooking with residual heat.
