Recipe Ingredients Notes
Full ingredients in the printable recipe card at the end of this post.
- Egg Whites. You'll need 8 egg whites (no yolks) or 1 cup of egg whites from a carton.
- Cornstarch. This helps the egg white tortillas stay intact. Without it they are fragile and more likely to tear.
- Kosher salt and black pepper. For seasoning.
How to make it
STEP 1. Preheat
Heat a medium non-stick skillet (8-inch skillet) over medium heat.
STEP 2. Blend
While the pan is heating combine the egg whites, cornstarch, salt and pepper in a blender (photo 1). Blend until frothy (approximately 1 minute) (photo 2).
STEP 3. Cook
Spray the non-stick pan with some non-stick spray. Pour ⅓-cup of the egg white mixture into the preheated skillet (photo 3). Swirl to coat the bottom of the skillet (photo 4).
Cook until golden (1-2 minutes per side) using a pliable spatula to gently slide underneath to flip over halfway through cooking and remove from the pan (photo 5). Remove from heat.
Repeat with remaining egg mixture. NOTE: if it separates while cooking, briefly blend to mix again before cooking more of the egg mixture.
Variations
Use different spices. For Mexican flavors you could add some taco seasoning or Mexican seasoning, cumin, red pepper flakes or chili powder. Love a Mediterranean flavor? Italian seasoning or Herbes de Provence are a great choice. Basically you can add favorite spices that will work with the ingredients you are using with the egg wraps.
Substitute xanthan gum instead of cornstarch. If preferred you can use xanthan gum instead of cornstarch. This is a binder often used in gluten-free cooking. You'll use ¼-teaspoon per 8 egg whites. NOTE: Some people find xanthan gum to create a gummy texture and that it disagrees with their digestion.
Use unflavored protein powder. You can also use protein powder as a binder. This will increase the calories and also the protein. If you want to do this use 2 tablespoons instead of the cornstarch and be sure to use unflavored protein powder.
Making larger wraps. If you want a large wrap you can follow the recipe using a 12-inch non-stick skillet. We recommend increasing the egg mixture to ½ cup or more to allow it to be thick enough to roll when it is done. If made with ⅓-cup it will be very thin like a crepe and more fragile.
How to use them
You can use these however you'd use regular wraps or tortillas.
How to Store
We recommend storing these in a gallon ziploc bag separated by parchment paper in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
