Cook Mode

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

Place hashbrowns in air fryer for 10 minutes at 400.
Spray pan with oil, heat on medium
Add spinach and veggies (you can add any veggies you like here)
Sautee for a few minutes until the spinach shrinks
Turn heat down to low
Add cottage cheese, eggs, and egg whites
Using a whisk, whisk the mixture and continue to do so until the eggs begin to form. This will be the trick to get those fluffy eggs.
While the eggs cook, lay out 4 pieces of individual foil paper, line with paper towel.
Warm tortillas in a tortilla warmer for 1 minute.
Season eggs with salt and pepper when almost done.
Once the eggs are ready, lay out your tortilla, add half a hasbrown and mash it slightly onto the tortilla to spread it a bit. Layer with eggs and cheese.
Roll like a burrito (I roll away from me, then fold the sides in and finish rolling).
Tightly wrap in paper towel and foil.
When ready to eat, heat in air fryer for about 8-10 minutes or warm in microwave for 1 1/2 minutes.
Enjoy with your favorite salsa or hot sauce!
