- Butter (2 tsp): Adds richness for cooking the eggs.
- Sliced Deli Ham (4 oz, cut into strips): Provides smoky, savory protein.

Substitutions and Variations:
- Eggs: Use egg whites or a mix of whole eggs and whites for a lighter option.
- Deli Ham: Swap with turkey, bacon, or plant-based deli slices for a vegetarian version.
- Green Onions: Replace with chives, red onion, or scallions.
- Dijon Mustard: Substitute with spicy brown mustard or a mild mustard for less tang.
- Tortillas: Use whole-wheat, corn tortillas, or gluten-free tortillas (adjust warming time).
- Add-Ons: Include shredded cheddar, spinach, diced bell peppers, or hot sauce for extra flavor.
- Gluten-Free: Use gluten-free tortillas and ensure ham is gluten-free (check labels).
Why These Ingredients Matter: The eggs and ham provide high-quality protein, while the Dijon mustard and green onions add zesty, fresh flavor. The tortillas make it portable and satisfying, creating a balanced meal perfect for breakfast lovers or quick meals.
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Egg Mixture
- In a large bowl, whisk together 8 large eggs, 2 sliced green onions, 1 tbsp Dijon mustard, ½ tsp salt, and ¼ tsp pepper until well combined.
Tip: Whisk thoroughly to blend the mustard evenly and ensure fluffy eggs.
Step 2: Cook the Ham
- In a large skillet, melt 2 tsp butter over medium heat.
- Add 4 oz sliced deli ham (cut into strips) and cook, stirring, for 1–2 minutes until lightly browned.
Tip: Stir occasionally to brown the ham evenly without overcooking.
Step 3: Cook the Eggs
- Pour the egg mixture into the skillet with the ham.
- Cook, stirring gently, for 3–5 minutes until the eggs are thickened and no liquid egg remains.
Tip: Stir gently and consistently to achieve creamy, scrambled eggs without overcooking.
Step 4: Assemble the Wraps
- Warm 4 (8-inch) flour tortillas briefly in the microwave (10–15 seconds) or a skillet to make them pliable.
- Spoon one-fourth of the egg and ham mixture (about ¾ cup) down the center of each tortilla.
- Fold the bottom of each tortilla over the filling, then fold both sides inward to close.
Tip: Don’t overfill to ensure easy folding; warm tortillas prevent cracking.
Step 5: Serve
- Serve the wraps immediately on plates or wrapped in foil for on-the-go eating.
Tip: Serve hot to enjoy the creamy eggs and warm tortillas at their best.
