Cuisine: Mexican
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup diced ham
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese
- 4 small tortillas
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Prepare all ingredients by dicing the ham into small, uniform cubes and shredding the cheese if not already pre-shredded.
- Heat a medium non-stick skillet over medium heat and add olive oil, ensuring the pan is evenly coated.
- Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl, season with salt and pepper, and whisk thoroughly until well combined and slightly frothy.
- Pour the whisked eggs into the heated skillet, using a spatula to gently stir and scramble the eggs, creating soft, creamy curds.
- When eggs are about halfway cooked, add the diced ham to the skillet and continue stirring to distribute evenly and warm the ham.
- Simultaneously, warm the tortillas in a separate dry skillet or directly over a gas flame for about 30 seconds on each side to enhance their flavor and flexibility.
- Once eggs are fully cooked but still moist, sprinkle shredded cheese over the egg and ham mixture, allowing it to slightly melt.
- Remove the skillet from heat and divide the egg, ham, and cheese mixture evenly among the warm tortillas.
- Fold the tortillas carefully and serve immediately while the eggs are hot and cheese is melted.
