Ingredients
  

4 large eggs

1/2 cup milk

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1 cup diced hatch green chilies (roasted and peeled)

1/2 cup diced onion

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon cumin

Salt and pepper to taste

4 large flour tortillas

1 tablespoon olive oil

Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)

Salsa for serving (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until smooth. Stir in the roasted hatch green chilies, diced onion, garlic powder, cumin, and half of the cheddar cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

    Cook the Egg Mixture: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Cook, stirring gently with a spatula, until the eggs are scrambled but still slightly creamy, about 5-7 minutes.

      Assemble the Burritos: Lay the flour tortillas on a flat surface. Spoon an equal amount of the scrambled egg mixture onto the center of each tortilla. Top with the remaining cheddar cheese.

        Roll the Burritos: Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll from the bottom up to form a tight burrito. Repeat with all tortillas.

          Toast the Burritos: Wipe out the skillet, and place it back on the stove over medium heat. Once hot, place the burritos seam side down in the skillet. Cook for about 2-3 minutes per side, until the tortillas are golden and crispy.

            Serve: Remove the burritos from the skillet and let them cool slightly. Slice in half, garnish with fresh cilantro, and serve with salsa on the side.
