At about 75 calories each, eggs contain high-quality protein and small amounts of vital nutrients, including folate, riboflavin, selenium, B12, and choline. The lutein and zeaxanthin in eggs are antioxidants that may help keep eyes healthy. Always try to buy organic free-range eggs if possible. Local eggs can usually be found at farmer’s markets.
One of our neighbors, Mary Hutchinson, gave us inspiration for this first recipe. Mary uses round deli ham, sliced cheese and 8” tortillas. Sometimes she adds chopped chives. We took the idea and ran with it, adding our own tweaks and preferences. You can do the same. Use sausage instead of ham, or go meatless. Add chopped tomatoes or salsa. Use American or cheddar cheese instead of spicier jalapeno pepper jack. If you prefer a bigger sandwich, use more filling on a larger tortilla. You get the idea. It’s so nice, when you’re hungry, to be able to reach into the freezer and pull out a package that, in about three minutes, becomes your breakfast, with no fuss or mess.
