Do you have leftover ham from your Easter meal? How about boiled eggs? I’m sure you’ve got so many boiled eggs you don’t know what to do with yourself (I hope you tried my Oven Baked Hard Boiled Eggs because they are SO easy!). Of course, you could always make my Creamy Greek Yogurt Egg Salad Recipe, or Healthy Avocado & Egg Salad Sandwiches, but how about something different? What about tacos? I know, you are probably thinking to yourself: tacos? How am I going to use leftover ham and boiled eggs in tacos? Well I’ve got the answer for you!
If you like a good ole traditional cobb salad, you are going to love this portable version. Who doesn’t love just wrapping up a good hearty taco? This will take your cobb salad to a whole new level. For me, any time I get to use my favorite Food For Life Sprouted Corn Tortillas is a good time. Not only are they healthy, but they are also delicious! By spouting, many of the key nutrients are released and is more easily digestible. I find mine at my local health food store (where I also buy many of the other Food For Life products). I’m so happy to have another great way to use up some leftovers. You better believe I’ll be having these a few times this week! Hope you’ll give them a try, they are quick, easy, and delicious!

Ohmygoodness, you guys. AH-mazing! I don’t like blue cheese, so I just left that out. I used shredded cheddar instead. :-) So great and fast and easy…good summer meal.

EEK! That makes me so happy that you loved it so much – wahoo! Thanks for stopping by to let me know!
Awesome idea! Pinned. :)
Yvonne
Fabulous, thank you!!
Laurie
Yum! I love the idea of charring the tortillas. I usually just warm them on a griddle. All our taco recipes are going to be so much better now.
Yvonne
Taking it to the next level!
Great idea. You can only do ham and cheese sandwiches for so long. :)
Yvonne
No kidding right?! It’s all about getting creative in the kitchen!
Amber @ Dessert Now, Dinner Later!
Nice! Getting rid of eggs and ham at the same time!
Yvonne
Yes! Double bonus!
Yum! I love this idea, especially for summer! Thanks for sharing!
