Cook Time: 5-7 mins
Total Time: 12 mins
Servings: 2
Difficulty: Easy
Ingredients
- For the Eggs:
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tbsp milk (optional, for fluffier eggs)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- For the Wraps:
- 2 large flour tortillas
- ½ cup shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese
- Optional Fillings:
- 1 cup cooked sausage, ham, or leftover grilled chicken
- ¼ cup diced bell peppers and onions
- Fresh spinach or lettuce
- Salsa, sour cream, or your favorite BBQ recipe sauce for a smoky flavor twist
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Warm the tortillas. If you have access to a stovetop or camp stove, warm the tortillas in a dry skillet for 15-20 seconds per side to make them pliable and prevent tearing .
- Scramble the eggs. In a bowl, whisk the eggs with milk, salt, and pepper until smooth. Scramble them in a non-stick skillet over medium heat until just set and still slightly moist—dry eggs make for a sad wrap!
- Heat the fillings. If using pre-cooked meat, stir it into the eggs during the last minute of cooking to warm through. If using raw sausage, cook it first, then drain and combine with the eggs .
- Assemble the wraps. Lay a warm tortilla flat. Spoon a generous portion of the egg mixture down the center, leaving about 2 inches clear at the bottom and sides. Sprinkle with cheese and any optional fillings .
- Wrap it up. Fold the bottom edge up over the filling. Fold the left and right sides inward, then roll it forward tightly from the bottom to create a neat package .
- Toast (optional but recommended). For extra flavor and crunch, place the wrap seam-side down in a hot skillet for 1-2 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy .
- Wrap and go. For road trip travel, wrap each wrap tightly in foil or parchment paper and store in your cooler space or RV fridge until ready to eat .
Pro Tips for the Perfect RV Egg Wrap
- Make ahead for zero-cook mornings. You can make these egg wraps ahead of time, wrap them in foil, and store them in your RV fridge for 3-4 days. They’re perfect for grab-and-go meals on travel days.
- Don’t overcook the eggs. Scramble the eggs until they’re just set—they’ll continue to cook slightly from the residual heat when wrapped .
- Use leftovers. This is a fantastic way to repurpose leftover grilled chicken from a previous BBQ recipe. Just chop it up and add it to the eggs .
- Prevent sogginess. To keep your wrap from getting soggy, pat your veggies dry and keep wet ingredients like salsa separate until you’re ready to eat .
