The Essential Ingredients for This Easy Breakfast
This recipe uses a handful of simple, high-impact ingredients to create its signature savory and tangy flavor.
- The Fluffy Eggs:
- Large Eggs: The high-protein, satisfying base of our wrap. The secret to the fluffiest eggs is to whisk them very well before you cook them.
- The “Secret” Ingredient (Dijon Mustard!): This is a brilliant and unexpected flavor hack! A tablespoon of sharp, tangy Dijon mustard whisked directly into the raw eggs adds a wonderful, complex, and savory depth of flavor that perfectly complements the salty ham.
- The Ham: Using about 4 ounces of pre-cooked, sliced deli ham is a fantastic and convenient shortcut. This is also the absolute best way to use up any leftover holiday ham! Simply dice it up and you’re ready to go.
- The Tortillas: Soft, 8-inch flour tortillas are the perfect, pliable vessel for our hearty filling. It is important to warm them slightly before you fill and fold them to prevent them from cracking.
Step-by-Step to the Perfect Ham and Egg Wraps
This delicious meal comes together in one skillet and just a few simple stages.
Step 1: Whisk the Eggs and Prep Your Ingredients
Step 1: In a large bowl, whisk together the 8 large eggs, the 2 sliced green onions, the 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard, the 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and the 1/4 teaspoon of pepper. Continue to whisk until the eggs are a uniform, pale yellow color and slightly frothy.
Step 2: Prepare your other components. Cut your 4 ounces of sliced deli ham into strips, and warm your 4 flour tortillas.
Part 2: Cook the Ham and Scramble the Eggs
Step 1: In a large skillet, melt the 2 teaspoons of butter over medium heat.
Step 2: Add the ham strips to the hot skillet. Cook and stir for 1 to 2 minutes, until the ham is lightly browned and heated through.
Step 3: Pour your prepared egg mixture into the skillet with the ham.
Step 4: Cook the eggs, stirring and scraping the bottom of the pan gently with a rubber spatula, until the eggs are thickened and there is no liquid egg remaining. Immediately remove the skillet from the heat.
Pro Tip: The secret to soft, fluffy scrambled eggs is to cook them over a gentle, medium heat and to remove them from the heat when they are just barely set, as they will continue to cook from the residual heat of the pan.
Part 3: Assemble and Fold Your Wraps
Step 1: Spoon about one-fourth of the hot egg mixture down the center of each of your warm tortillas.
Step 2 (How to Fold a Wrap): First, fold the bottom of the tortilla up and snugly over the filling. Then, fold both of the sides in, one over the other, to completely enclose the filling.
Serve the wraps immediately while they are warm.

- To Freeze for Later: Let the completely assembled and folded wraps cool to room temperature. Wrap each one first in a layer of parchment paper or foil, and then place them all in a large, freezer-safe, resealable bag. They will keep in the freezer for up to 3 months.
- How to Reheat: To reheat from the refrigerator, you can simply microwave the wrap for about 60-90 seconds. To reheat from frozen, unwrap the burrito, wrap it in a damp paper towel, and microwave for about 2-3 minutes, until it is hot all the way through.

- Make it a “Denver” Wrap: For the classic flavor of a Denver omelet, you can sauté about 1/2 cup of finely diced green bell pepper in the skillet along with the ham before you add the eggs.
- Use a Different Protein: If you’re not a fan of ham, this recipe is also absolutely fantastic with an equal amount of crumbled, cooked breakfast sausage, crispy, crumbled bacon, or even some crumbled, cooked chorizo.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q1: What is the absolute secret to the best, most fluffy scrambled eggs?
There are two main secrets! First, be sure to whisk your eggs very well in a bowl before you add them to the pan. You want to incorporate a lot of air into them, which will help to create a light and tender curd. Second, cook them over a gentle, medium to medium-low heat, and push them around the pan slowly. High heat will make the eggs tough and rubbery.
Q2: What is the best way to fold a burrito or a wrap so that it doesn’t fall apart?
The key is to not overfill it! Place your filling in a line down the center of your warm tortilla. Then, first, fold the bottom third of the tortilla up and snugly over the filling. Then, tightly fold in the two sides, one over the other. Finally, continue to roll the burrito up from the bottom.
Q3: Can I make these breakfast burritos ahead of time to freeze?
Yes, this is an absolutely perfect freezer meal! Simply prepare the wraps completely, let them cool, and then wrap each one individually and tightly in a layer of parchment paper or foil before you place them in a freezer bag. This makes them a fantastic, healthy, and budget-friendly “grab-and-go” breakfast.
Q4: What is the best way to warm flour tortillas so they are soft and pliable and don’t crack?
The easiest and fastest way is to wrap a stack of tortillas in a slightly damp paper towel and microwave them in 30-second increments until they are warm and steamy. You can also warm them one at a time for about 10-15 seconds per side in a hot, dry skillet on the stovetop.
Q5: Can I add potatoes to these breakfast wraps?
Of course! A classic breakfast burrito often contains potatoes. You can add about 1 cup of your favorite cooked, diced potatoes, some crispy hash browns, or even some tater tots to the filling.
