There are weeknights when the fridge feels like a barren wasteland, half a tomato, a few eggs, that lonely slice of ham you swore you’d use, and a tortilla hanging on for dear life. Well, congratulations, because dinner is about to get fabulous. This tomato, ham & cheese egg tortilla wrap takes those ingredients and spins them into something delicious.
It’s fast, comforting, and dangerously habit-forming. Whether you’re feeding yourself after a long day, rescuing lunch in under ten minutes, or pretending to host “breakfast for dinner” night, this wrap is a great choice.
What is the Tomato, Ham & Cheese Egg Tortilla Wrap?
This wrap is a cheerful mashup of an omelette and a folded tortilla. It borrows the quick-cook, protein-forward comfort of breakfast eggs and the portability of a burrito-style wrap, so you get cheese, ham, and bright tomato in every bite.
While tortillas are popular in Mexican cuisine and omelettes show up in many culinary traditions, the wrapped egg format is basically international. Who doesn’t love eggs in a blanket?
Pro Tips for the Best Egg Tortilla Wrap
- Use a non-stick skillet and medium heat. That’s the sweet spot for set-but-tender eggs and melty cheese.
- Slice the tomato thinly so it softens quickly and doesn’t release a torrent of juice. You can also pat the slices dry to avoid soggy eggs.
- Grate your cheese fresh if possible, as it melts faster and tastes brighter.
- For crisp edges, add a tiny knob of butter or a splash more oil around the pan before flipping.
- Use mayonnaise sparingly in the egg mixture or on the tortilla for creaminess without overpowering the eggs.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know when the eggs are cooked enough?
Cook on medium until the egg surface is mostly set but still slightly glossy, which takes about 2–3 minutes after pouring. The residual heat and the tortilla on top will finish it gently.
Will the tortilla get soggy?
Not if you manage heat and time. Using medium heat and placing the tortilla only for a couple of minutes keeps it from absorbing too much moisture. Toast the tortilla for 20–30 seconds before assembling if you want extra crispness.
Is this suitable for kids?
Absolutely, just reduce the seasoning and skip any strong hot sauce. Cut into small wedges for easy handling.
Can I Freeze the Egg Tortilla Wrap?
Freezing a fully assembled wrap is doable but not ideal, as eggs change texture after freezing, and tortillas can go a bit chewy.
How to Store Egg Tortilla Wrap
This dish can last in the fridge for 2 days. You can reheat in a skillet over medium-low heat or microwave for 30–60 seconds if you’re in a hurry.
