Tortilla Lunch

This week's recipe features one of my boys' favorite lunch items, the tortilla. There have been times when I would ask them what they wanted on their tortillas and lucky for you, I am not going to add their suggestions lucky you
The all-time favorite tortilla lunch is the cheesy/eggy/turkey-y/broccoli-y/wheat germy tortilla. The only trouble with this recipe is that you may not have the ingredients on hand. I always cook more food than I need for a meal so that I can freeze and use the leftovers. This allows us to come up with the cheesy/eggy...you know tortilla!
Cheesy/Eggy/Turkey/Broccoli/Wheat Germ Tortilla
2 whole grain tortillas
2 eggs
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup of thinly diced turkey (cooked)
1 cup steamed broccoli
wheat germ - sprinkled as desired
Scramble 2 eggs in a frying pan with EVOO (extra virgin olive oil) and add the broccoli and turkey when the eggs are almost cooked. Cook until the eggs are no longer runny and are firm.
Warm tortillas in a toaster oven or in your regular oven.
Place tortilla on a plate and cover with the egg scramble. Sprinkle the cheese over the eggs and then sprinkle wheat germ on top. Roll up the tortilla or fold in half. Serve warm with cottage cheese with fruit dices mixed in.
