As summer quickly approaches, I always find myself thinking of hearty and easy-to-make breakfast sandwiches to have on hand for my two boys to enjoy. A few years ago, after eating our first breakfast crunchwrap from Taco Bell, we were inspired to create a version that combined the crunchy tortilla shell with the fillings of a breakfast burrito.

It quickly became our go-to hearty protein-filled breakfast. It was the perfect easy-to-make-and-take breakfast sandwich, especially with two teenagers in the house. The best part of these crunchwraps is you can make up a large batch to freeze and then pull out to enjoy whenever you want (just wrap them in a paper towel and microwave for a minute or two.) or just prepare a few at a time since they are so simple to make.

We love to experiment with different fillings. This recipe uses only egg, ham ( used leftover ham from a ham dinner that I had frozen), and mozzarella cheese mostly because it’s what I had on hand. However, we have added bacon, sausage, onions, peppers, and mushrooms topped with either cheddar, colby, mozzarella, or pepper jack cheese.

Easy Frugal Egg, Ham and Cheese Crunchwrap

This recipe makes 3 crunch wraps (1-2 servings). You can double or triple the recipe to make a larger batch.

The first thing you want to do is grab a medium bowl and combine 3 eggs, 1/3 cup of shredded cheese, 1/3 cup of diced ham, salt, pepper, and a tablespoon of milk.

Add a generous helping of egg, ham, and cheese mixture (about 1/3 cup) to a soft flour tortilla shell.

Begin folding the tortilla shell by bringing the end closest to you up toward the center.

Then, turn the shell slightly to the right and bring the bottom right-hand corner to the center.

Continue bringing each corner to the center until you have a small flap left, bring that to the center. Don’t worry if it doesn’t stay closed. When you add it to the skillet, you add this side face down and as it cooks it will stay together.

Add the crunchwrap face down on a skillet that has been sprayed with non-stick cooking spray and cook on medium heat until each side is golden brown.  (*watch them closely because they brown quickly)

A quick tip- if you are going to be taking them on the go, add some salsa on top of the egg mixture before folding the tortilla shell and cooking.
