Breakfast Wraps Ingredients
- Eggs: This recipe calls for six large eggs. If you only have medium eggs, add an additional egg for a total of seven.
- Milk: Use 2% milk, which means that the milk contains 2% of milkfat.
- Canola Oil: This type of cooking oil is heart-healthy and can stand up to high temperatures.
- Cheddar Cheese: You can either buy shredded cheddar or grate it yourself from a block of cheddar.
- Ham: Make it easy on yourself by buying fully cooked, diced ham sold in stores.
- Flour Tortillas: Select tortillas that are 8-inches in diameter.
Directions 
Step 1: Cook the egg mixture
In a small bowl, whisk the eggs, milk and pepper. In a large skillet, heat the oil. Add the egg mixture to the skillet and cook it over medium heat until the eggs are completely set.
Step 2: Add the cheese and the ham
Stir the cheese and ham into the egg mixture.
Editor’s Tip: Any type of cheddar will work—including white cheddar, where the natural orange vegetable dye wasn’t added.
Step 3: Add the egg mixture to the tortillas.
Spoon the egg mixture down the center of each tortilla and roll it up.
Editor’s Tip: If you like that charred coating on a tortilla and have a gas stove, lay the tortilla on top of the burner for no more than 10 seconds.
