Green Eggs Ham Wraps (Print Version)

Fluffy eggs, savory ham, and fresh herbs wrapped in a spinach tortilla for a colorful start.

# What You'll Need:

→ Eggs

01 - 6 large eggs
02 - 2 tablespoons milk
03 - 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
04 - Salt to taste
05 - Black pepper to taste

→ Fillings

06 - 4 large spinach tortillas
07 - 4 ounces cooked ham, sliced or diced
08 - 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
09 - 1/4 cup fresh baby spinach, chopped
10 - 2 tablespoons fresh chives or green onions, finely sliced

→ Optional

11 - 1 avocado, sliced
12 - Hot sauce or salsa for serving

# Steps to Follow:

01 - In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
02 - Heat butter in a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Add the egg mixture and cook gently, stirring frequently, until softly scrambled and just set. Remove from heat.
03 - Warm the spinach tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for 10 to 15 seconds to make them pliable.
04 - Lay each tortilla flat. Evenly divide scrambled eggs, ham, cheddar cheese, chopped spinach, and chives among the tortillas. Add avocado slices if using.
05 - Fold in the sides and roll up each tortilla tightly to form a wrap.
06 - Optional: Place the wraps seam side down in a warm skillet for 1 to 2 minutes to toast lightly and help seal.
07 - Slice in half and serve immediately with hot sauce or salsa, if desired.

# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • They come together in twenty minutes, which means you can actually eat breakfast before your coffee gets cold.
  • The spinach tortilla gives you that sneaky green boost without tasting like you're being virtuous about it.
  • They're forgiving enough for beginners but feel impressive enough to serve to guests who drop by unexpectedly.
02 -
  • Cold eggs feel mealy and disappointing, so assemble and serve these right after cooking rather than letting them sit while you fiddle with other things.
  • If your tortillas are room temperature, they'll crack when you try to fold them, so the warming step isn't optional even though it feels like it might be.
03 -
  • Buy whole block cheese and shred it yourself the night before, because pre-shredded cheese contains anti-caking agents that prevent smooth melting.
  • If you find your eggs cooking too quickly, lower the heat even more and take your time, because slow eggs taste creamy while fast ones taste waxy.
