Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 medium green onions sliced
  • medium bell peppers chopped (green, red, or yellow)
  • 6 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 flour tortillas 7 to 8 inches, warmed
  • ½ cup Cheddar cheese or Monterey Jack, shredded

Instructions

  • Heat olive oil in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced green onions and chopped bell peppers and sauté for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until just crisp-tender.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
  • Pour the egg mixture into the skillet with the vegetables, reduce the heat to medium, and cook for 4 to 6 minutes, stirring frequently, until the eggs are set but still soft.
  • Spoon the egg mixture evenly onto the warm tortillas, sprinkle with shredded cheese, and roll each tortilla into a burrito.
  • Place the burritos seam-side down in a dry skillet over medium heat and cook for 1 to 2 minutes per side, until lightly toasted and golden. Serve warm.

Notes

  • Warm tortillas before filling to prevent tearing.
  • Do not overcook the eggs, as they will continue to set slightly after rolling.
  • These burritos can be wrapped tightly and reheated for quick breakfasts.
