Instructions
Follow each step in order. The directions below are written so a beginner can understand what to do, what to look for, and when to move on to the next step.
- Step 1.Warm the tortillas briefly so they are flexible and less likely to crack when rolled.
- Step 2.Whisk eggs with sour cream, salt, and pepper until smooth and slightly aerated.
- Step 3.Melt butter in a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat and add the egg mixture.
- Step 4.Cook slowly, folding with a spatula until the eggs form soft moist curds, then remove them from the heat.
- Step 5.Lay the tortillas flat and divide the scrambled eggs across the lower third of each one.
- Step 6.Top evenly with ham, shredded cheese, and diced tomato while leaving a clear border around the filling.
- Step 7.Fold the sides inward, then roll each tortilla tightly from the bottom to form a sealed burrito.
- Step 8.Heat a thin layer of oil in a clean skillet over medium heat and place burritos seam-side down.
- Step 9.Cook and turn until each side is crisp and golden and the cheese inside has melted.
- Step 10.Rest for 2 minutes before slicing or wrapping for later serving.
