Ingredients
Scale
Roll-Up Ingredients
- 4 flour tortillas (8-inch)
- 1 cup lean ground chicken or turkey
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ cup diced bell peppers (any color)
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
Optional
- Hot sauce for serving
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line or prepare a nonstick baking sheet to place the assembled roll-ups on.
- Cook Meat: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the lean ground chicken or turkey until it is browned and cooked through. Season with ½ tsp salt and ¼ tsp black pepper for flavor.
- Scramble Eggs: While the meat cooks, whisk the eggs with the salt and pepper in a bowl. Transfer to a nonstick skillet over medium heat and scramble until fluffy and fully cooked.
- Assemble Roll-Ups: Lay each flour tortilla flat and evenly distribute the cooked meat, scrambled eggs, diced bell peppers, and shredded cheddar cheese. Fold the sides over and then roll them up tightly to enclose the filling.
- Bake: Place the rolled tortillas seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes or until the roll-ups are golden brown and the cheese is melted inside.
- Serve: Remove from oven and let cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm, optionally accompanied by hot sauce, salsa, or guacamole if desired.
Notes
- You can substitute the lean ground chicken or turkey with lean ground pork or beef if preferred.
- Bell peppers add a nice crunch and sweetness but can be omitted if you want a simpler flavor.
- For a spicier version, add diced jalapeños or a sprinkle of chili powder to the filling.
- These roll-ups can be made ahead and reheated in the oven or microwave for a quick breakfast.
- Use whole wheat or low-carb tortillas for a healthier twist.
- If you want a crispy exterior, brush the roll-ups lightly with oil before baking.
