Instructions
1
Whisk the eggs in a bowl with a tablespoon of milk, salt and pepper.
2
Heat a little fat in a pan. Add the bell pepper and ham (if using). Sauté for 3–4 minutes until the pepper softens and the ham is browned.
3
Reduce the heat and pour the eggs into the pan. Stir slowly with a wooden spoon to get soft scrambled eggs. When the eggs are almost cooked (still a little moist, not dry!), remove them from the heat. The residual heat will continue cooking them.
4
Warm the tortillas for 10–15 seconds in the microwave or in a dry pan. This is key! A warm tortilla is pliable and won't crack while wrapping.
5
Spread a tablespoon of Greek yogurt (mixed with hot sauce, if desired) in the center of each tortilla. Top with the scrambled eggs and vegetables, add avocado slices and sprinkle with cheese.
6
Wrapping: First fold the sides of the tortilla inward (over the filling), then fold the bottom over the filling and roll tightly into a roll ("burrito").
7
Wipe the pan clean and reheat it over medium heat with a little butter. Place the burrito in the pan seam-side down. Cook for 1–2 minutes until the seam seals and browns. Flip and fry on the other side as well until crispy.
