Ingredients

2 corn tortillas
1/2 cup cottage cheese
2 large eggs
3 ounces cooked turkey
2 tablespoons salsa
1/4 avocado

Instructions

Cook 2 large eggs and warm 2 corn tortillas.
Layer sauce and greens against the bread first, then add 3 ounces cooked turkey, 2 tablespoons salsa and 1/4 avocado, so the base does not get soggy.
Fold, toast, or slice it so the breakfast holds together in hand.
Serve immediately, or wrap tightly in foil for a portable meal-prep option.
