Cuisine: Mexican
Serves: 8 burritos
Ingredients
- 8 large flour tortillas
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup diced ham
- 1/2 cup diced green chiles
- 1 cup shredded cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped onion
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare all ingredients by dicing ham into small 1/4-inch cubes, finely chopping onions, and measuring out green chiles.
- Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a small amount of cooking oil or butter.
- Sauté chopped onions until they become translucent and slightly golden, approximately 2-3 minutes.
- Add diced ham to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes until edges are slightly crispy.
- Crack eggs into a mixing bowl, add salt and pepper, and whisk thoroughly until well combined.
- Pour whisked eggs into the skillet with ham and onions, gently scrambling and cooking until eggs are just set but still moist.
- Remove egg mixture from heat and stir in diced green chiles.
- Warm flour tortillas briefly to make them more pliable, either in microwave or on a clean skillet.
- Place tortilla flat, add a portion of scrambled egg mixture in the center, sprinkle shredded cheese on top.
- Fold sides of tortilla inward, then roll tightly from bottom to create a sealed burrito.
- Wrap each burrito individually in aluminum foil for easier freezing and future reheating.
- Allow burritos to cool completely before placing in freezer-safe container or bag.
- Freeze for up to 1 month. To reheat, remove foil and microwave for 1-2 minutes or until heated through.
Tips
- • Use fresh, high-quality tortillas for the best texture and taste • Don't overcook eggs - keep them slightly moist for a tender result • Let burritos cool completely before freezing to prevent ice crystals • Label your freezer bags with the date to track freshness • For best reheating, thaw burritos overnight in the refrigerator • Experiment with different cheese varieties like pepper jack for extra kick • Consider adding a splash of hot sauce inside for more flavor • Wrap burritos tightly to prevent freezer burn • These burritos stay fresh for up to 1 month in the freezer
