In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
Add the chopped spinach to the pan and sauté for about 2-3 minutes, until wilted. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
Cook the Eggs:
Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk until well combined. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Pour the eggs into the same skillet, and cook over medium heat, stirring gently, until scrambled and cooked through.
Add the cooked spinach to the scrambled eggs and mix until well incorporated. If desired, sprinkle with grated cheese for extra flavor.
Assemble the Egg Rolls or Tortilla Wraps:
If using tortillas, simply place the spinach and egg mixture in the center of each tortilla. Fold the sides of the tortilla and roll it up tightly.
If using egg roll wrappers, spoon the filling into the center, fold in the sides, and roll tightly, sealing with a little water or egg wash.
Cook the Egg Rolls (Optional for Frying):
Heat vegetable oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the wrapped egg rolls and fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden and crispy.
Alternatively, you can cook the rolled tortilla wraps in a dry skillet for a lighter option, heating each side for 1-2 minutes until slightly crispy.
Serve:
Remove from heat and let the egg rolls or wraps cool for a minute before slicing.
Serve hot with a dipping sauce of your choice, such as salsa, yogurt, or hot sauce.
