Ingredients
  

4 large eggs

1/4 cup milk

1/2 cup diced green chilies (choose mild or hot based on preference)

1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/4 cup finely diced onion

1/2 cup diced bell pepper (any vibrant color)

4 large flour tortillas

2 tablespoons olive oil or butter

Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Hot sauce (optional, for serving)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until smooth and fully combined. Add a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste, mixing well to ensure even seasoning.

    Sauté the Vegetables: In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil or butter. Once the oil is shimmering or the butter is melted, add the diced onions and bell peppers. Sauté for approximately 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are softened and take on a light golden color.

      Incorporate Green Chilies: Add the diced green chilies to the skillet with the sautéed onions and bell peppers. Stir well and cook for an additional minute, allowing the flavors to meld.

        Make the Egg Mixture: Pour the whisked egg mixture into the skillet with the vegetables. Using a spatula, gently stir the mixture to cook evenly. As the eggs begin to set, fold in the shredded cheddar cheese, continuing to stir gently until the cheese is fully melted and the eggs are softly cooked. Remove the skillet from heat.

          Assemble the Burritos: On a clean, flat surface, lay a flour tortilla. Spoon a generous amount of the egg and green chili mixture into the center of the tortilla. Fold in the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then carefully roll it up from the bottom to the top, ensuring the filling is securely enclosed.

            Toast the Burritos (Optional): If desired, wipe the skillet clean and return it to medium heat. Place the burritos seam-side down in the skillet, toasting each side for about 2-3 minutes until they are golden brown and crispy.

              Serve and Enjoy: Cut each burrito in half and garnish with fresh cilantro. Serve with hot sauce on the side for those who enjoy an extra kick!
