Denver Air Fryer Breakfast Crunch Wrap
Description
This recipe fills flour tortillas with a mixture of soft scrambled eggs made from whole eggs and egg whites cooked gently with butter, sautéed green bell peppers and sweet onions cooked until slightly caramelized, browned cubes of ham steak, and slices of provolone cheese. The assembled wraps are folded and cooked in the air fryer to develop a crispy golden exterior and melt the cheese inside, while preserving the fluffy texture of the eggs and the savory, smoky flavor of the ham.
Vegetable sautéing includes carefully adding water during cooking to prevent burning and maintain moisture. If an air fryer is unavailable, cooking the wraps on a skillet or griddle yields a softer but still satisfying crust.
These crunch wraps serve as a fulfilling breakfast or brunch option that can be made in batches and are easy to hold for eating on the go.
Prepping ingredients separately before assembly ensures balanced cooking for each component and a well-textured wrap.
Ingredients
Eggs
- 6 egg large
- 6 egg white
- 2 tbsp butter
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Wraps
- 6 flour tortilla 70 grams per tortilla, brand Mission, super soft burrito size
- 6 oz ham steak 170 grams, boneless, brown sugar, brand Wegman's
- 6 lices provolone cheese 23 grams per slice, thin sliced, brand Wegman's
- 1/2 green bell pepper 60 grams, medium, chopped
- 1/2 sweet onion 80 grams, medium, sliced
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 2-3 tbsp water
Instructions
Prep the fillings.
- Sauté the onions and peppers. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat (6 out of 10). Once the oil is hot and shimmery, add onions and sauté, moving the onions around to coat them in oil. Continue moving the onions around as they begin to caramelize, adding water 1 tbsp at a time as needed to keep them from burning. Add peppers and continue to sauté until they begin to soften and develop golden brown spots. Set aside in a bowl.
- Heat up the ham. Pat the ham steak dry with a paper towel, then cut it into cubes. Heat the skillet over medium-high heat and add ham cubes. Sauté the ham, moving it around the skillet occasionally, for 3-4 minutes or until the ham begins to brown and caramelize. Set aside in a bowl.
Make soft scrambled eggs.
- Add eggs and egg whites into a cold skillet. Add butter, place on stove burner, and turn heat to medium-low.
- Using a soft spatula (rubber or silicone works best), break the yolks and ensure the eggs are mixed together.
- Keep the eggs moving continuously using broad sweeping motions, pushing eggs all the way around the circumference of the skillet, then across the bottom. Continue to push eggs around and across skillet until fluffy and barely set, about 4-5 minutes; they should still look soft and a little runny. Season with salt and pepper in the last minute of cooking.
- Remove from heat and add to a wide, shallow dish (you want the eggs to have plenty of space to cool and not continue to cook like they would in a tall bowl).
Assemble and air fry crunch wraps.
- Line up the tortillas on your counter or a flat surface. Add ham cubes in the middle of each tortilla, then add sautéed pepper and onions. Top with cheese, then carefully add soft scrambled eggs on top.
- Wrap by folding the tortillas over the toppings so that they have 5 sides and completely cover the fillings. Optional: Lightly spray the top of the tortilla with a bit of cooking spray to help it brown.
- Pre-heat air fryer to 370°. Place one crunch wrap, seam side down, in the air fryer basket. (Note: I like to use one of the accessories that has a solid bottom to catch any cheese or juices that drip out.) Air fry for 5-7 minutes or until the wrap is golden brown and crisp. Repeat with remaining wraps.
Notes
- If you don't have an air fryer, cook the crunch wraps on a skillet or griddle over medium-high heat until both sides are golden brown and heated through.
- Use water sparingly when sautéing vegetables to avoid burning and help them soften evenly.
