· 1/2 slice (1/2 oz.) lean ham, chopped
· Salt and pepper (to taste)

Lightly spray a frying pan with nonstick cooking spray and place over medium heat. When pan has heated, add eggs and cook for 2 minutes, scrambling as they cook. Remove eggs from pan and place in center of tortilla. Add cheese and ham. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Roll up burrito-style, wrap in a paper towel, and microwave for 10 seconds. Serve with salsa. Makes 1 serving.
