Living with two growing teenagers, breakfast is always in a hurry. I always look for savory breakfast ideas to feed my family on the busy weekday morning. This quick breakfast stuffed tortilla egg roll is super easy and quick breakfast idea you can make with leftover tortilla. The tortilla is wrapped with an egg stuffed with spinach and cheese. You can stuff with pretty much anything you have. It only takes less than 5 minutes to make this simple yet tasty breakfast stuffed tortilla egg roll.
I recommend to use either Fajita or Taco size flour tortilla for the roll.
Crack an egg and sprinkle with chopped green onion. Lay a piece of tortilla while the egg is still wet, then top with whatever topping you like. I used spinach and some shredded cheese. I can picture some chopped ham, sausage, tomato, mushroom, and pepper would be very nice with this quick breakfast tortilla egg roll, too.
Fold the egg and tortilla layer to roll the stuffing inside and finish the cooking. That’s all.
I like to serve with bottle salsa. Avocado slices or guacamole would be very nice, too. Quick, easy, and nutritionally balanced breakfast doesn’t have to take so long to make. You will like it.

This would make a terrific lunch. Or dinner, for that matter. 🙂 Really nice — thanks.
This is such a great idea!
What a clever idea with the egg on the outside. Love it!
Dear Holly, I made them for today’s brunch. What a great idea!
I had a package of 8 mini tortillas, 5 or 6 inch diameter, and for 2 people I didn’t want to use 4 eggs, so I used half egg each. I gave an Italian touch by using red Tropea onion instead of green onion and grated Crucolo cheese. No salt added so it was a bil saltless, but the hot red salsa helped making them tastier.
Thank you!
Love from Italy
