TL;DR: These Steak and Egg White Salsa Verde Breakfast Wraps are a fast, high-protein, low-carb breakfast you can meal prep for the week. Make a quick stovetop tomatillo salsa verde, roll everything in whole-wheat wraps, and you're set. Details on how to store this meal prep, can I freeze this, and the best way to reheat are below.
I love keeping these wraps in the fridge for post-workout mornings. Tender steak, fluffy egg whites, and a bright, homemade salsa verde hit all the satisfying notes while staying light. Make a batch in 30 minutes, wrap them up, and grab-and-go all week.

Wraps
- 15 large egg whites
- 5 oz flank steak (thinly sliced; scale up if you want meatier wraps)
- Salt, pepper, and your favorite steak seasoning
- 5 whole-wheat wraps (8-10 inch)
Optional add-ins: sliced avocado, pickled onions, crumbled cotija, or a handful of baby spinach.
How to Make
1) Make the Salsa Verde (Stovetop, ~10 minutes)
- Heat 1 teaspoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high.
- Add tomatillos (halved if large), jalapeño, and onion; cook 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally, until blistered and softened.
- Add garlic for the last 1-2 minutes so it softens without burning.
- Transfer to a blender with cilantro and lime juice; blend until smooth. Salt to taste. (If too thick, add 1-2 tablespoon water.)
2) Cook the Egg Whites (~4 minutes)
- Wipe out the skillet, spray or lightly oil, and scramble egg whites over medium until just set. Season with a pinch of salt & pepper. Transfer to a plate.
3) Sear the Steak (~4 minutes)
- Season flank steak with salt, pepper, and steak seasoning.
- Raise heat to medium-high; sear 1-2 minutes per side until cooked to your liking. Rest 2 minutes, then slice thinly if not already.
4) Assemble the Wraps (~5 minutes)
- Warm wraps briefly so they're pliable.
- Layer egg whites, steak, and 2-3 tablespoon salsa verde down the center.
- Fold sides in, roll tightly, and place seam-side down.
Meal Prep & Storage
How to Store This Meal Prep
- Fridge: Wrap each burrito in parchment (keeps them from getting soggy) and place in an airtight bag or container. Keeps up to 5 days.
Can I Freeze This?
- Yes. Wrap each burrito in foil (or parchment then foil) and freeze in a labeled freezer bag for up to 2 months. For best texture, thaw overnight before reheating-but you can reheat from frozen in a pinch (see below).
Best Way to Reheat
- From fridge: Microwave 45-60 seconds, flip, then 20-30 seconds more. Or toast in a skillet over medium with a lid 2-3 minutes per side to re-crisp.
- From frozen: Microwave 90 seconds, flip, then 45-60 seconds more; finish in a hot skillet 1-2 minutes for a toasty exterior.
- Air fryer option: 350°F for 6-8 minutes from chilled (10-12 from frozen), flipping once.
Tips, Swaps & Variations
- Steak options: Grill or pan-sear. A 6-hour marinade (lime, garlic, cumin, a little oil) adds great flavor if you have time.
- More protein: Add extra steak or fold in a few whole eggs with the whites.
- No tomatillos? Sub firm, under-ripe tomatoes plus extra lime for brightness.
- Make it vegetarian: Swap black beans (rinsed and drained) for steak; season and warm before assembling.
- Spice it up: Add a second jalapeño or a serrano to the salsa, or a pinch of chili flakes to the eggs.
- Cheesy version: Sprinkle a little shredded jack or cotija before rolling.
FAQs
How to store this meal prep without soggy wraps?
Let fillings cool 5 minutes before rolling, use parchment to wrap, and keep salsa amounts moderate (add extra on the side for reheating).
Can I freeze this?
Yes. See freezing notes above. Wrapped well, the flavor and texture hold up for up to 2 months.
Best way to reheat for a crisp exterior?
Microwave briefly to warm the center, then finish in a skillet or air fryer so the outside toasts up nicely.

Showing this recipe to a group of people for meal prep options, how do you store this meal and how long does it last in the freezer and in the fridge?

Hi Sierra! They are wrapped and then we store them in a large ziplock bag. It can last in the freezer for 3 months or 5 days in the fridge.
