Ingredients
  

4 large eggs

1/2 cup milk

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (divided)

1 cup diced hatch green chilies (roasted and peeled)

1/2 cup diced onion

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon ground 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, combine the eggs and milk. Using a whisk, blend them together until completely smooth. Fold in the diced hatch green chilies, diced onion, garlic powder, ground cumin, and half of the shredded cheddar cheese. Season the mixture with salt and pepper according to your taste.

    Cook the Egg Mixture: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is shimmering, carefully pour in the egg mixture. Gently stir with a spatula, allowing the eggs to cook through but remain slightly creamy. This should take approximately 5-7 minutes.

      Assemble the Burritos: On a clean flat surface, lay out the flour tortillas. Using a spoon, place a generous portion of the scrambled egg mixture in the center of each tortilla. Then, sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese over the egg filling.

        Roll the Burritos: To form the burrito, fold the sides of each tortilla over the filling, then roll it tightly from the bottom up. Make sure the filling is securely tucked inside as you roll. Repeat this process with each tortilla.

          Toast the Burritos: Clean out the skillet and return it to the stove over medium heat. Once heated, place the burritos seam side down into the skillet. Allow them to cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, until the tortillas are golden brown and crispy.

            Serve: Carefully remove the burritos from the skillet and let them cool for a minute. Slice each burrito in half for easier serving. If desired, garnish with fresh cilantro and serve alongside salsa for dipping.
