Sliced bell peppers, tomatoes, onions, spinach, baked beans and salsa are all great choices.

Tips & Tricks to Make the Chicken Ham Breakfast Tortilla
Ready to make this easy breakfast tortilla? You might want to take note of these tips and tricks too.
- Want to make this dish quickly? Scramble the eggs super quick in a pan, top it with some cheese and then layer it over the tortilla instead of doing the cheese ring-thing.
- If you don’t want to use your Air Fryer, you can totally make this recipe in a pan too!
- Experiment with different seasonings and spices based on what you like. For a kick of heat, sprinkle some cayenne pepper or paprika.
- I would also recommend adding some chopped herbs into the mix, to lend the dish an extra bit of flavor.
- You can use almost any cheese of your choice for this recipe. Mozzarella cheese and cheddar cheese are both great choices, and work well along with the other ingredients.
- If you’re making this in a pan, remember to keep the heat medium-high and allow the tortilla to be nice and toasted on both sides, ideally with a golden brown crust.
Serving Ideas & Suggestions
This chicken ham breakfast tortilla is a perfect breakfast dish in itself- you don’t need to put in any extra effort into serving it. Just team it up with your cup of coffee or tea, and you’re good to go.
