Ham and Cheese Breakfast Tortillas

This works well for a special brunch or even a meal that can be prepared quickly. Despite the fact that deli ham is already fully cooked, other breakfast meats can also be used.

This recipe was easy and delicious. I made it as directed except for cutting it in half.

mmmm
Deborah Montgomery
Good. Really basic, easy and tasty.
Steven Reed
Very good recipe. I used bacon rather than ham as that’s what I had on hand, and I cut it down to 2 eggs per person. I made it with 6″ tortillas, again because that’s what I had on hand but allowed 2 of them for a single serving. Very good recipe and as others have said, one can easily vary the ingredients without taking anything away from the recipe.

It was good! I used Turkey instead of Ham. (I don’t like ham) and I added spinach to the eggs. My husband liked it too.

This was great, and easy. I had chopped everything the night before. I just threw a bunch of stuff in with the scrambling eggs, so I didn’t really measure. I did use 8 eggs, which was a little much for the three of us. I added milk, seasoned salt, garlic, red bell pepper, green onion, diced ham… mexican-blend cheese at the end and on top when rolling in tortillas… added salsa and cilantro on top and more cheese when rolling, heated in pan like a quesadilla on both sides. Served with salsa and fruit on side. Great! 🙂 I might add avocado next time… and i might mix the salsa in with the eggs instead of adding on top. Bacon or sausage would probably be better but the ham was easy. Love it.

Really disappointed. I cut down on the eggs and I used diced salami instead of ham – but the mild salsa I added to the top completely overwhelmed the eggs and ham/salami. All I tasted was spicy tomato and cold, doughy tortillas. I wanted to taste the eggs!! BUT…I had 2 left over with no salsa on top and the next day I opened the wraps and added a little more cheddar and ADDED fresh cooked asparagus, re-wrapped and zapped for 60 seconds. DELISHIOUS. I mean, really good. Think of tasting scrambled eggs and a mild salami with cheese and fresh asparagus, wrapped in a hot tortilla wrap. No salsa. Now THAT’S a ham and cheesy breakfast tortilla! Super.

This was fast, easy and delicious. I didn’t have green onions on hand so I substituted some sweet onion, diced, added garlic and some diced yellow pepper; stir fried the ham, onion, garlic and yellow pepper first, then added egg mixture. To dress eggs, I added a little oregano, cinnamon and salt. This is a great recipe for adding your own egg flourishes to the base recipe. Loved it.

While I certainly mean no disrespect to either the submitter or the overwhelming majority of reviewers, I’m afraid I cannot perpetuate “the emperor has no clothes” metaphor obviously going on here. Most would agree that tucking some scrambled eggs with a variety of add-ins and ‘fixins’ into a tortilla is neither a recipe nor a novel concept. Most reviewers, too, rather than reviewing the “recipe,” simply noted what they did to embellish it, ignoring that this is really nothing new or different; and not really a recipe at all. This is more helpful as a breakfast suggestion, or as an idea of what to do with ham and eggs. That said, we still enjoyed these, even tho’ I think ham paired with salsa wasn’t the best combo. Hubs, on the other hand, disagreed, remarking, “I don’t know, I thought they were pretty ‘D” good!”

At our house we call these breakfast burritos. I substitute bacon, sausage and sometimes leftover roast beef that I cube up. Some times I will add leftover cubed cooked potatoes, what ever I have in the fridge gets used up when I make these. If I have a can of diced green chilis I throw that in for more flavor as well. My family prefers bacon in these, so I cook up the bacon and then cook up everything else in the same pan in the bacon fat. Decadent but very yummy! The bacon drippings give this great flavor! My sons and husband also likes a dallop of sour cream added to their burrito!

Delicious quick breakfast!!
Lisa Hayes
Add some fresh spinach to the eggs and ham. Kids get some green veggies that way.
Jessica Shields
One of our breakfast favorites. Generally, I sauté finely chopped yellow onions, finely chopped green and red pepper, and some frozen hash brown potatoes. When just about done, I add the ham, some fresh, sliced mushrooms, and the egg mixture, following the rest of the recipe as written.
Linda Lindsey
Okay, these are great, as we’ve made versions of them for 35 years. Really though, anyone with an iota of imagination doesn’t need a recipe for something this simple. We do prefer a taco sauce as opposed to salsa. LaVictoria brand is very good. Enjoy!
Melanie Torres
Our 4th grade Girl Scouts made them on our camping trip and the girls loved them. We added diced frozen potatoes and had diced green pepper available. The girls could add whatever ingredients they wanted. We also used bacon. I’ve made them at home since and they are a hit. Have a little leftover bacon, ham, potatoes from another meal – make a burrito.
Eric Taylor
Great anytime of the day. Had to add some roasted green chili and/or serve with hot sauce.
Oscar Edwards
I am hooked on these. Now I make a mustard salsa to have with them. 2T Salsa, 2T BBQ Sauce and 2T Mustard.
Devin Garza
Did without green onions and cheese. Would be fine w/o tortilla, too…
Jennifer Freeman
Quick & Yummy breakfast! I scaled down the portion for just my husband and I and also added some baked tater tots to the wrap. The tater tots gave it a nice crunch!
Barbara Lester
Very good! Salsa makes a nice flavor along with the cheese ( Xtra Cheese), egg, and ham. Used leftover Christmas ham and was delish! Thanks 🙂
Paul Johnson
This looked really good, but it was just okay. The only change I made was cutting the amount of eggs and milk in half to cut back the cholesterol. I also used 1/2 of an 8oz smithfield ham steak I cooked in the pan and chopped instead of the lunchmeat ham slices. I thought the green onion taste was kind of strong and I couldn’t really taste the ham. Maybe, the slices actually would have been better. I didn’t really understand the salsa on top? The whole point of recipes like this, in my opinion, is they are portable in the morning. I have a go to recipe, that works great, but wanted to try something different. They will all get eaten, just not a repeat recipe.
