Tricia's Breakfast Wraps and Salsa

Breakfast Wraps
1 pkg tortillas
1 pkg ham
1 pkg shredded cheese
Eggs (egg whites or whole eggs both work, but whites work better I think)

1)Prepare eggs as if to scramble while heating up your pan. 2)Once pan is hot, slowly pour eggs until the bottom surface is just covered. I use a 10 in cast iron pan with very short sides. 3)After eggs are mostly cooked, carefully flip them over trying to keep them in as few pieces as possible, the goal being one big round piece of egg. (Good luck with this, the best I’ve done is two pieces!) A few seconds is usually enough to finish cooking the eggs. 4)Transfer cooked egg to a plate or platter of some kind. 5)Place a tortilla in the same pan you used for the eggs, burner still on. 6)Lightly sprinkle cheese, then put two or three slices of ham. 7)Next place your cooked egg on top with another light sprinkle of cheese on the eggs. 8)Now you just carefully, and with help from utensils, roll the tortilla while it’s still in the pan. Leave it in the pan a few seconds to completely melt the cheese so it ‘glues’ the whole thing together and doesn’t unroll on you before you transfer it to a plate. *You can also just make a breakfast quesadilla. Instead of rolling in step 8, just place another tortilla on top and flip it so it’s heated through and cheese is melted.

Salsa
There is no recipe for the salsa! I actually took a jar of the Chi-Chi’s salsa from the commissary and amped it up. I dumped the jar in the blender along with some Mrs. Dash Southwest Chipotle seasoning and about 1/3 c (or so) of a frozen Mango fruit blend that you can use to make frozen drinks/smoothies with. You may be able to get the same effect with pieces of really ripe mango thrown in the blender, too.
