Ingredients

  • ounces ham cooked chopped
  • large eggs 
  •  flour tortillas (9 to 10 in. wide)
  • oz jack cheese shredded
  • ounces jalapeño chiles fresh stemmed rinsed seeded chopped (see notes)
  • tablespoon olive oil 
  • oz onion peeled chopped
  • servings bell pepper 
  • oz roma tomato cored rinsed chopped
  • servings tomato salsa 
  • 0.3 teaspoon salt 

Equipment

  • bowl
  • frying pan
  • oven
  • whisk
  • plastic wrap
  • microwave
  • spatula

Directions

  1. In a bowl, whisk eggs, 1/4 cup water, and salt until blended.
  2. Set a 10- to 12-inch nonstick frying pan over high heat.
  3. Add oil, ham, chiles, onion, and tomato; stir often until onion is limp, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-high.
  4. Add egg mixture, then sprinkle evenly with cheese. When a thin layer of egg is set on pan bottom, in about 30 seconds, push cooked egg toward one side of pan with a wide spatula, letting uncooked egg flow underneath. Continue cooking and pushing egg mixture until eggs are softly set but still moist, 3 to 4 minutes total. Stir to turn eggs over.
  5. Remove pan from heat.
  6. Wrap tortillas in plastic wrap and heat in a microwave oven on full power (100%) just until hot and steamy, 15 to 30 seconds.
  7. Lay tortillas, one at a time, on a board and spoon about a fourth of the egg mixture across each, just below center. Wrap tortillas tightly around filling. If desired, cut each burrito in half diagonally; stack on plates. Offer salsa, salt, and pepper to add to taste.
