The "Is Better than the Dunkin' Doughnuts" Sunshine Wrap



This is the "has to be better than Dunkin' Doughnuts" SUNSHINE wrap.  Looks delicious, right?  It's because it is!  Seriously though, you load up the kids, drive to Dunkin' Doughnuts, wait in the drive-thru lane that you drove further to get to because it HAS a drive thru, so that you don't have to unload the kids to load them back up.  Then they heat up what was an already made bacon, egg and cheese wrap.  Don't get me wrong, they're good..."A large, iced Dunkin' Dark Roast coffee with extra caramel, cream, no sugar and a bacon, egg and cheese wake-up wrap, please."  My downfall, ughhh.  Since then, my husband started eating them...so he had a rather novel idea...I could make them!  I figured, how hard could it be?  And guess what?  It's easier, cheaper, healthier and tastier than what we had been doing!!!

Step 1:  Gather all of your ingredients.  Here are the ones I use.
I chose the Mission Super Soft flour tortillas because, well, they're super soft!  I figured they would hold up better.  The cheese really is whatever sliced cheese you like, I like cheddar.  Grated cheese is fine, I just prefer sliced for this.  I use the unsalted butter because I feel like bacon can hold it's own regarding saltiness.  But the bacon...I tried others, but if you like crispy bacon, which wins in this house, OMG, the Applegate Sunday Bacon is ridiculous.

Then of course whatever eggs you have.

Step 2:  I use a large skillet and start frying up the bacon.  I set the temp anywhere from medium to medium-high depending if I need to buy some extra time.

Step 3:  I heat up the small 8" skillet and put a third of a tablespoon of butter, more for flavor than to make it non-stick as I, like most, have the non-stick coating.  This small pan is for the eggs as it makes for the perfect size for the tortillas.  I use 5 eggs, which will get you 4 "egg pancakes".  I make my egg mixture in a container with a snap on lid with 2 tablespoons of water.  (If you've seen the movie Deep Blue Sea with LL Cool J you know that he says that water makes them fluffier...I know...LAME!  But I like it this way!)  Then you just use enough egg mixture to coat the bottom of the small pan.  Then when you notice that the top is starting to look cooked through, anywhere from 2-3 minutes, flip it and cook for another minute to 90 seconds.




 Step 4:  Place the cheese slice on the egg, while it is in the pan it works best.  Then cut it in half.


Step 5:  Start assembling!!!



You'll notice that I break the bacon pieces in half.  It ensures that just about every bite will have a bit of bacon!  Also, the tortillas tend to not want to stay folded by themselves so you'll want to use something to weigh it down.  But you only have to do that for a few minutes until they develop a nice crease.

Then, TA-DA!  You have 8 perfect Sunshine Wraps ready to eat now or to put away in a Ziploc and re-heat when you're ready!  You can warm them for 30-45 seconds in the microwave, put them to "toast" in your toaster oven, or my fave is in the skillet on medium for about 90 seconds on each side and it crisps the outside and warms the inside!

You can also try using different ingredients, sausage, adding some bell pepper slices, even chopping veggies and putting them into your egg mixture!

The possibilities are endless...
