Chopped green onion, scallions or chives to garnish In a large skillet over medium-high heat, sauté onion and mushrooms in oil, until lightly browned. Add the ham and stir-fry another minute. Add eggs and stir-fry 1 minute more. Remove from heat and toss egg mixture with cheese. Divide evenly among the tortillas; roll up and wrap individually in aluminum foil. Refrigerate overnight or until breakfast. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Place wrapped tortillas in the oven for 8 to 10 minutes, until heated through. For your buffet, cut in half and place on a platter.
