    Make-Ahead-Egg-Wrap-Recipe-with-Ham-Avocado-&-Salsa

    We all know that time flies but, really, this is ridiculous. I'm certain it was just yesterday that my boys sprung out of bed, ready to enjoy the first day of summer holidays. And for that matter, wasn't it just last week that they took their first steps, blew out their first birthday candles, told me "I wub you" for the first time? Another summer has flown and we are a mere week away from the first day of school. It has been a full year since I posted their back-to-school picture, arms draped around each other, backpacks filled with newly sharpened pencils and Nutella Sugar Sandwich Cookies. Now it is time to set my mind to quick and easy breakfast options for those busy school morning.

    That's when I turn to eggs for something a little different, easy to prepare and packed with nutrients. The components of this wrap, which include hard-boiled eggs, ham, avocado and salsa, can be prepared the night before and quickly assembled in the morning for a quick sit down or "to-go" breakfast.

    I know I am not alone when I say that my kids are very active and require meals packed with nutrients to help them through the day. My eldest son is very involved in soccer, practicing or playing with his team up to four times per week. My younger son started taking kung-fu a few months ago and claims to need extra energy to perform his best "flying Ninja kicks" - his words. On days of important soccer games and kung-fu classes, it is important to start them off with a breakfast that is full of healthy protein and provides them with the extra energy they will need to kick balls and punching bags with gusto. For our family, that means a meal of eggs, whole wheat toast or wraps and fresh fruit.

    There are times when I have a few extra minutes to whip up a batch of scrambled eggs or personal sized frittatas. On other mornings, however, time is so short that turning on the burner seems like an insurmountable task. That's where hard-boiled eggs come into play. I can make a large batch to last for several days. Not only do they work as an afternoon snack to tide me over until dinner, but they are very handy for breakfasts that need to be made at warp speed.

    This wrap can be made with any selection of ingredients - shredded cheese, chopped tomatoes, grated zucchini, chopped turkey, black beans...the list goes on. Use your imagination and your family's palate as a guide.

    The recipe:

    Slice each hard-boiled eggs horizontally into about 5 slices.

    EggSalsaWrap1

    Lay the slices down the center of each whole wheat tortilla. Divide the diced ham and avocado slices between the 4 tortillas, laying over top of the egg slices.

    EggSalsaWrap2

    Spoon your favorite tomato salsa over the avocado slices.

    EggSalsaWrap3

    Wrap by folding up the bottom of each tortilla and folding in the sides. Serve on a plate or wrap in plastic wrap for a "to-go" meal.

        I like the idea of using Avocado in a wrap...will try the same with my veggie wraps. Lovely clicks, Dara.

        Terrific breakfast idea for days when you're rushing out the door with the kids. Can't believe how quickly time flies. It seems just yesterday that my boys were in elementary school, and now I have my oldest off to college this week!

        I would have thought scrambled eggs but not hard boiled. Love this! These wraps are great for dashing out the door, for the lunch box or any time at all.
        I know what you mean about those Mom feelings. I am going through the same my friend 🙂 xxoo

        Brillant way to use hard-boiled eggs which we love to take on picnics. This will be another way to take them with us. Aren't you so clever! The Summer's sun has just arrived here so we can see some more cheerful picnics ahead.

        Ahhh LOVE! I want one now! These remind me of lunch with my friends in the playground when I was little... Mom would run to give me a wrap or a piece of bread with something, anything - eggs for sure - just so I'd eat. 🙂

        I think this would be a perfect quick dish for any meal. We love wraps and this looks really good. It is a nice variation from your typical egg sandwich.

        Time does fly...I can't believe school is about to start. Thank you so much for sharing with me, my sweet friend. I hope you have a wonderful Tuesday. I'm starting out strong with an egg sandwich (a slight variety of this lovely recipe) and a big cup of coffee 🙂 Much love from Austin!
