I do like green eggs and ham! And I believe Dr. Suess would also approve this new Karla kitchen creation. (My sister, an emergency room resident, gives it the thumbs up too!) 

This simple, quick breakfast wrap is perfect for those who prefer a savory and salty breakfast to the several sweeter options presented before on Healthful Bites. I developed this recipe to celebrate the upcoming Irish event: St. Patrick’s Day! So I name this one “Semi-Green Eggs and Ham”—just right for a semi-Irish girl like me :) 

Here are the only ingredients you’ll need:

• 1 whole wheat, high fiber tortilla (I like La Tortilla Factory brand, but pick your favorite)
• 1 oz. deli ham
• 1/2 cup egg substitute
• 1 Tbsp. tomatillo salsa

1. Grab a non-stick pan (or spray a regular pan with non-stick spray). Turn the burner on medium high and pour in the egg substitute, stirring occasionally as the mixture solidifies.

2. As the egg substitute cooks, arrange the ham on the tortilla. If you prefer, you can also cube the ham and sprinkle into the cooking eggs. Warm the tortilla and ham in the microwave for 30 seconds.

3. Top the ham tortilla with the cooked eggs once they are no longer runny and cooked to your desired level. Then add the Irish touch (I guess more Mexican, but it’s green!) with a drizzle of tomatillo salsa. Tuck the bottom in, then fold each of the sides toward the middle to create your breakfast burrito.

4. Grab and consume! If you’re on the go, top with foil to catch drippings—the egg substitute may drip a bit (my Mom’s only complaint). Don’t let this scare you though! The protein, fiber and tastiness make up for this ;)

This entire process only takes about 10 minutes! Try it out if you hope to kick off your St. Patrick’s Day in a little more nutritious way than Corned Beef Hash.
