What are Stuffed Tortilla Omelet Wraps?
This is a simple stuffed tortilla dish where an egg omelet, made with grated cheese, meets a tortilla shell and a savory filling. The assembly uses two tortillas for extra structure and buttery cooking to a crisp finish. It’s a hybrid snack that pulls together classic breakfast ingredients in a hand-held, shareable form.
Pro Tips for the Best Stuffed Tortilla Omelet Wraps
- Use day-old or slightly chilled cooked chicken for easier shredding and better texture.
- Don’t overfill and keep fillings to one side when folding so the wrap seals and cooks evenly.
- Grate a mix of cheeses for a balanced melt and flavor.
- Cook on medium heat so the tortilla gets golden without burning and the cheese melts through.
- Press gently with a spatula while cooking the folded wrap to help bind everything and create crisp edges.
Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of tortilla is best to use?
Flour tortillas, about 8-10 inches, work best here for folding and holding the filling. Burrito-style or medium-size tortillas both work, so pick the size you prefer for snack vs. meal portions.
Can I make this vegetarian?
Yes, replace chicken and bacon with cooked mushrooms, black beans, or sautéed spiced tofu. Add extra smoked cheese or a pinch of smoked paprika to mimic bacon’s depth.
How do I stop the tortilla from tearing when folding?
Warm the tortilla for 15 seconds in a dry pan, as this makes it pliable. Also, avoid overfilling and fold gently.
What’s the best way to reheat leftovers?
Reheat in a skillet over medium-low heat for 3-5 minutes per side until heated through and crisp. Microwaving works for speed, but it will soften the tortilla.
How to Store Stuffed Tortilla Omelet Wraps
Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To freeze, wrap each tightly in foil or plastic wrap and freeze for 2 months, and reheat from frozen.
