Method
- Heat oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C. Brush both sides of the tortillas with the oil, then cut into triangles like tortilla chips. Place in a single layer on lined baking trays and bake for 7-8 mins until golden and crisp.
- Meanwhile place the eggs in a small saucepan and fill with water until covered by 1cm water. Bring to the boil and cook for 7 mins until hard boiled. Remove from the pan and run under cold water until cool enough to peel and thinly slice.
- Arrange the tortilla chips on the plate and top with the cheeses, cucumber, tomatoes, carrot, ham and egg.
