Ingredients
1 large burrito-size flour tortilla
3 large eggs
1 cup cottage cheese
1/2 cup shredded cheese
1/2 cup fresh baby spinach, torn
1/2 red bell pepper, finely diced
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/4 tsp freshly cracked black pepper
Instructions
1. Line your air fryer basket with a parchment liner.
2. Press the tortilla into the basket to form a bowl shape.
3. Whisk eggs and cottage cheese in a bowl until combined.
4. Pour the mixture into the tortilla shell.
5. Top with spinach, bell peppers, and shredded cheese.
6. Season with salt and pepper.
7. Air fry at 350 Fahrenheit for 20 minutes until the center is set.
8. Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Notes
Ensure the tortilla is at room temperature so it does not crack when forming the base.
Drain excess liquid from the cottage cheese for a crispier bottom.
Reheat leftovers in the air fryer to maintain the tortilla’s crunch.
