Chakchouka Wrap

A modern, portable street-food interpretation of the classic North African shakshuka, where soft scrambled eggs folded with a rich, cumin-scented bell pepper, onion, and tomato stew are wrapped snugly inside a warm tortilla or flatbread.

Ingredients

What you’ll need

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 red bell pepper (diced)
  • 1/2 onion (diced)
  • 1 clove garlic (minced)
  • 1 cup canned diced tomatoes
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • salt, pepper
  • 4 eggs (beaten)
  • 2 flour tortillas
  • 1/4 cup feta cheese crumbled

Method

How it comes together

  1. 1

    Sauté: Heat olive oil on medium (350°F / 175°C). Sauté onion, bell pepper, and garlic for 5 minutes.

  2. 2

    Simmer: Add diced tomatoes, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 8-10 minutes until thick.

  3. 3

    Scramble: Pour in beaten eggs. Gently scramble for 2 to 3 minutes until set.

  4. 4

    Assemble: Warm tortillas, spoon the hot scrambled eggs in the center, top with feta, fold sides, and roll tightly.

Accuracy note

Reducing the sauce more than for a plated chakchouka prevents a soggy wrap. The wrap itself is a contemporary presentation.
