Equipment
- mixing bowls
- whisk
- Nonstick pan
- spatula
- Spoon
- Gallon freezer bag or other freezer-friendly container
Ingredients
- 8 large eggs
- ¾ cup cheddar cheese shredded
- 1 medium red potato cubed
- 8 ounce ham steak cubed
- 8 10-inch whole wheat tortillas
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon butter (optional, but recommended) divided
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, add eggs, cheese, and a pinch of salt and pinch of pepper and whisk until combined (don’t over-mix). Add ¼ tablespoon of butter to the non-stick skillet and cook the eggs to a medium scramble. Set aside in a clean bowl. Wipe out the skillet if needed.
- Add the remaining butter to the skillet and fry the cubed potato for about five minutes or until almost soft on medium heat. Add a small pinch of salt and a small pinch of pepper.
- Add the cubed ham to the skillet with the potatoes and continue to fry for another 3-5 minutes, until the ham is just barely browning and heated through.
- Remove the pan from the heat and place the mixture in a clean bowl or bring the pan to your assembly area with your eggs and tortillas, placed on a potholder.
- Divide ingredients equally into the tortillas. To wrap the burritos, add the fillings to the center of the tortilla in a line, being careful not to overfill. Fold the sides inward over the filling, then fold the bottom over so it’s covering the filling. Starting with the bottom flap, roll the burrito towards the filling, tucking the flap inward as you roll to hug the contents. Continue to roll until your burrito is seam side down.
- Place in a freezer bag or container and freeze for up to three months. To re-heat, place in the microwave wrapped in a paper towel. Cook for 1 minute 30 seconds. Flip over, and cook for 1 more minute. Contents will be hot.
