- 6 large eggs worth Egg whites
- 2 large Whole eggs
- 100 grams Cooked chicken breast
- 50 grams Low-fat cottage cheese
- 30 grams Fresh spinach
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Paprika
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 teaspoons Olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Prepare your ingredients: Dice the cooked chicken breast into small, bite-sized pieces and rinse the fresh spinach leaves to remove any dirt.
Step 2
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the egg whites and whole eggs until fully combined and slightly frothy.
Step 3
Add the diced chicken breast, low-fat cottage cheese, fresh spinach, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the egg mixture. Stir gently to distribute the ingredients evenly.
Step 4
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil, swirling the pan to coat it evenly.
Step 5
Once the oil is warm, pour the egg mixture into the skillet, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
Step 6
Cook on medium heat for 4-5 minutes or until the bottom is set and golden brown. Reduce the heat if it starts to brown too quickly.
Step 7
Flip the tortilla carefully using a plate or large spatula (depending on your comfort level) and cook the other side for an additional 3-4 minutes until set and fully cooked through.
Step 8
Slide the High Protein Tortilla Francesa onto a plate, slice into wedges, and serve warm. Enjoy!
