HOW TO MAKE IT
- Place a dry griddle or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Place a tortilla on the skillet and sprinkle with cheese. Add ½ cup of ham and top with more cheese. Place another tortilla on top. Cook until light golden for about 1 - 2 minutes. Flip over and cook until golden brown. Set aside on a plate. This is a sincronizada (or a blending of ingredients).
- Cook the eggs to your preference. Once eggs have been cooked, place over sincronizada and top with Pico de Gallo salsa (see below).
