Cajun Breakfast Wraps

Heart-Healthy Cajun Breakfast Wraps (Trucker Edition)

This recipe is designed for long-haul drivers. It is low-cholesterol, high-protein, and specifically engineered to be reheated in a 12V portable heater without becoming soggy. The "Square Fold" design allows for one-handed, drip-free eating while driving.

Custom Cajun Seasoning Mix (Salt-Free)

Make this in bulk and store in a small jar. Use 2-3 tablespoons per pound of meat.

• 2 tbsp Smoked Paprika (provides the "meaty" flavor)
• 1 tbsp Garlic Powder
• 1 tbsp Onion Powder
• 1 tsp Dried Thyme
• 1 tsp Dried Oregano
• 1 tsp Cayenne Pepper (adjust for heat)
• 1 tsp Black Pepper
• 1/2 tsp White Pepper

Ingredients

• Protein: 1 lb Ground Turkey (93% or 99% Lean)
• Egg Base: 1 carton Liquid Egg Whites
• Wraps: Large Whole Wheat Tortillas (High Fiber)
• Moisture Barrier: Green Cabbage leaves (washed and patted completely dry)
• Binder: Hummus or Low-Fat Greek Yogurt
• Optional: Finely diced celery and green bell peppers (The "Holy Trinity")

Preparation (At Home)

1. Brown the Meat: Sauté the ground turkey with 2-3 tbsp of the Cajun Seasoning Mix. Use a spatula to break the meat into very small crumbles. Cook until the moisture is gone and the edges are slightly crisp.
2. Dry-Scramble Eggs: Cook the egg whites in a non-stick skillet. Cook them "hard" (firm) so they do not release water later.
3. Cooling: IMPORTANT. Let all cooked ingredients cool completely before assembly to prevent condensation inside the wrap.

Assembly (The "Drip-Proof" Square Fold)

1. Lay the tortilla flat.
2. Place a dry cabbage leaf in the center as a heat/moisture shield.
3. Spread a thin layer of hummus or yogurt on the leaf (acts as "glue").
4. Layer the Cajun turkey crumbles and egg whites in the center.
5. The Fold: Fold the left and right sides toward the center, then fold the top and bottom over them to create a sealed square packet.
6. Press the wrap in a dry skillet for 30 seconds per side to "lock" the seams.

Reheating Instructions (In the Semi)

• Storage: Keep wraps in the truck refrigerator for up to 5 days.
• Setup: Wrap the unit loosely in a paper towel, then in a foil "envelope" (leave a small gap for steam to vent).
• Heating: Place in 12V portable heater (RoadPro/HotLogic) for 45–60 minutes.
• Safety: The square fold ensures the wrap can be held in one hand without leaking on the driver or the equipment.
