Salsa Ham And Egg Roll Ups Recipe Ingredient Quantities

• 4 large eggs
• 1/4 cup milk
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 4 slices of ham
• 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/2 cup salsa
• 4 large flour tortillas
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro (optional)

How to Make this Salsa Ham And Egg Roll Ups Recipe

1. In a basin, vigorously mix the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper together until they are completely coherent.

2. Melt the butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.

3. Into the skillet, pour the egg mixture and cook until the eggs are just set and scrambled.

4. Spread out each flour tortilla and lay down a slice of ham on each.

5. The scrambled eggs should be evenly distributed over the ham slices.

6. Over each tortilla’s eggs, sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese.

7. Place a few tablespoons of salsa over the cheese.

8. Tortillas are generally rolled to form a wrap. To wrap a tortilla around a filling, fold the sides inward first. Then, roll the tortilla away from you, enclosing the filling. That’s it! That’s how to wrap a tortilla around a filling. (And if you’re not into the whole folding and rolling thing, you could always get a Mexican restaurant to make you some enchiladas.)

9. Put the roll-ups seam-side down in the skillet over medium heat and cook until the tortillas are golden brown and slightly crisp on the outside, about 2-3 minutes per side.

10. Take off the heat, and if you’re using cilantro, chop it and sprinkle it over the dish before eating. Serve right away!

FAQ

• Can I use a different type of cheese?Monterey Jack, mozzarella, or any favorite melting cheese can take the place of cheddar cheese.
• What if I don’t have fresh cilantro?If you don’t have cilantro or prefer a different flavor, you can leave it out. It is an unessential ingredient in this recipe.
• Is there an alternative to flour tortillas?Corn or whole-wheat tortillas can be used in place of flour tortillas, but they may change the texture a bit.
• How do I prevent the eggs from being overcooked?Prepare the eggs in a pan at medium-low heat and take them off the fire while they are still a little undercooked. They will finish cooking while they rest on the plate.
• Can I make these roll-ups ahead of time?You can prepare them, wrap in foil, and refrigerate for up to one day. They are best served fresh but can be reheated in the oven or on a skillet before serving.
• What type of salsa works best?Select a salsa in accordance with your heat liking: mild, medium, or hot. Salsa made in the home kitchen also fits well for a personalized touch.
• Can I add vegetables to the roll-ups?Certainly, bell peppers, onions, or spinach that are diced and prepared would make a fantastic addition. They should be sautéed in advance of the eggs being added in for guaranteed texture.

Salsa Ham And Egg Roll Ups Recipe Substitutions and Variations

For the large eggs, you can swap in an equal volume of egg whites for a lighter option. This will yield the same amount of egg mixture you’re after. Just keep in mind that egg whites have a different flavor and texture than whole eggs.
Instead of milk, try using almond milk or another non-dairy milk to make it dairy-free.
Turkey slices or cooked bacon can replace ham for a different flavor.
Cheddar cheese that has been shredded can be substituted with Monterey Jack cheese or a dairy-free cheese alternative.
Opt for tortillas made from whole wheat or corn for a more healthful or gluten-free choice.

Pro Tips

1. Preheat the Tortillas: Before assembling the wraps, warm the tortillas for a few seconds in a microwave or a dry skillet. This will make them more pliable and easier to roll without cracking.
