Ingredients

• 4 large eggs
• 0.25 cup whole milk
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 4 8-inch flour tortillas
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.5 cup salsa
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives or green onions
• 1 tablespoon cooking spray or oil

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, crack the 4 large eggs and add 0.25 cup of whole milk, 0.5 teaspoon of salt, and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper. Whisk together until well combined and slightly frothy.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.

Step 3

Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Allow it to set slightly at the edges, then gently stir the eggs with a spatula, pushing them from the outer edges towards the center.

Step 4

Continue stirring occasionally until the eggs are just set and still a bit creamy, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat.

Step 5

Warm the flour tortillas: Briefly heat each tortilla directly over the flame of a gas stove or in a dry skillet over medium heat until soft and pliable.

Step 6

Place a warm tortilla on a clean surface. Spoon about a quarter of the scrambled eggs onto the center of the tortilla.

Step 7

Sprinkle 0.25 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the eggs.

Step 8

Add approximately 2 tablespoons of salsa and some chopped chives or green onions.

Step 9

Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll from the bottom up to enclose the filling completely, creating a burrito.

Step 10

Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.

Step 11

Optional: Heat a skillet with 1 tablespoon of cooking spray or oil. Place the burritos seam-side down in the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side or until golden and slightly crispy.

Step 12

Serve warm, and enjoy your egg and cheese burritos with additional salsa or toppings of choice.
