Brekky Wraps Meal Prep
Chorizo rendered until crisp, then the eggs get scrambled straight in that flavoured oil, no wasted flavour, no extra pan to wash.
Pulling the eggs while they’re still slightly wet is the difference between soft, creamy scrambled eggs and rubbery ones by the time they’re wrapped and toasted.
Toasted until golden and sealed, then wrapped individually, five breakfasts ready to grab on the way out the door.

A proper grab-and-go breakfast
Scrambling the eggs in rendered chorizo oil instead of butter or plain oil means every bite carries that smoky, paprika-forward flavour straight through.
Toasting the wraps seam-side down first seals them shut before you flip, so nothing unravels in the pan or falls apart later in the week.
Wrapped individually and frozen, these hold up well for weeks, not just the usual few days.
Brekky Wraps Meal Prep
Ingredients
- Spray Oil Optional
- 250 g Spanish Chorizo Diced
- 280 g Baby Spinach
- 10 Eggs Beaten
- 5 Flour Tortillas
- 100 g Cheddar Cheese Grated
- Salt & Pepper
Method
Render The Chorizo
- Place a large pan over medium heat. Add the diced chorizo and cook for 4–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until crisp and the oil has rendered out. Transfer the chorizo to a bowl, leaving the fat in the pan. Add the spinach and cook for 2 minutes or until wilted. Remove from the pan and set it aside.
Scramble The Eggs
- Pour the whisked eggs into the hot chorizo oil, then season lightly with salt and pepper. Gently fold and stir until just set but still soft (about 2-3 minutes). Remove from the heat — they’ll continue to cook from residual heat.
Build The Wraps
- Lay out the tortillas. Divide the scrambled eggs between them, followed by the chorizo and cheese.
Roll & Seal & Portion
- Fold in the sides and roll tightly. Toast each wrap in a dry pan over medium heat for 1–2 minutes per side, until golden and sealed. Allow to cool before wrapping individually in foil or parchment.
Why pull the eggs off the heat while they're still a bit wet?⌄
They keep cooking from residual heat even off the pan. Waiting until they look fully done means overcooked, rubbery eggs by the time they're rolled into the wrap.
Can I use a different sausage instead of chorizo?⌄
Yes, though you'll lose the paprika-forward flavour chorizo brings and won't get as much rendered fat to scramble the eggs in. Adjust seasoning to taste if you swap it.
Can I add other vegetables to the filling?⌄
Sautéed mushrooms or diced capsicum both work well added in with the spinach. Just make sure any extra moisture cooks off before assembling, or the wraps can turn soggy.
Why toast seam-side down first?⌄
It seals the roll shut before you flip it. Going straight to browning both sides risks the wrap coming undone in the pan.
