I used tomato basil tortillas for this recipe, skipped the cheese as I am lactose intolerant, love the addition of avacados. Will definitely make again.

When making this recipe I did leave the avocado out, but that was the only change I made, & I had a great 2nd dish to add to the breakfast table when we had 2 other for company! Very, very nice, & definitely a keeper of a recipe! [Tagged & made in Please Review My Recipe]

Wonderful dish! I halved the recipe and left out the onions, otherwise made as specified. The sauce was fantastic and perfect with the eggs and ham. Hubby enjoyed his with the avocado, I enjoyed mine without. We like having "breakfast-for-dinner" and this was a great one - thanks for sharing the recipe!

These really are SO yummy!! I was forced (by DH) to leave out the avocado,and subbed bacon for the ham,but I don't think that they suffered too much because of it. I left my eggs undercooked,and they finished cooking to perfection in the oven. We absolutely LOVED these...they were completely delicious! A winner without doubt,that will definately be making an appearance on my table again soon-thanks very much for sharing!

Oh boy are these tasty tortillas. My DH loved the flavors. I did add a bit of salsa too to the mix as he likes it HOT (even for breakfast! ) Thanks for a keeper of a recipe for his weekend breakfast treat.
