Make the egg mixture: Crack the egg into a small bowl and whisk eggs with a fork. Season it with your choice of salt, black pepper, garlic powder, hot sauce, Italian seasoning, etc.
Cook the tortilla: Spray a preheated pan with nonstick cooking spray. Pour the scrambled egg into the large skillet, heat over medium-high heat, and swirl the egg around the pan to create an even layer on the bottom of the pan. Cook until the egg is set, about 1-2 minutes. Flip the egg and cook until the egg is completely cooked through.
Finish the tortilla: Remove the egg tortilla from the pan and place it on a plate. Let it cool for a minute, then fill it with your fillings. Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling and roll it up tightly.
Hint: No need to worry about flipping when making a wrap. Just cook it until almost done, then flip it at the end. If it folds over, use a silicone spatula to straighten it out. It's forgiving and easy to fix.
