Ingredients
  

4 large eggs

1/2 cup milk (or your choice of plant-based milk)

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 tablespoon olive oil or butter

1 cup hatch green chiles, roasted, peeled, and chopped (canned can be used if fresh are not available)

1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or pepper jack are excellent options)

4 large flour tortillas

1/2 cup diced tomatoes

1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

1/4 cup sour cream (optional)

Salsa for serving (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and a pinch of salt and pepper until fully blended. This mixture will create a rich, creamy filling for your burritos.

    Cook the Eggs: In a non-stick skillet, heat the olive oil or butter over medium heat. Once the oil is shimmering and hot, pour in the egg mixture. Gently stir with a spatula, pushing the eggs from the edges toward the center. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until the eggs are just set, slightly creamy and soft.

      Incorporate the Chiles: Add the chopped hatch green chiles and half of the shredded cheese to the scrambled eggs, stirring to combine. Allow the mixture to cook for an additional minute, just until the cheese begins to melt. Remove the skillet from heat.

        Assemble the Burritos: On a clean surface, warm the flour tortillas slightly to make them easier to fold. Place a generous scoop of the egg and chili mixture in the center of each tortilla. Top the filling with diced tomatoes, fresh cilantro, and a sprinkle of the remaining cheese.

          Roll the Burrito: Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to the top, ensuring the filling is secure inside. If desired, you can slice the burrito in half for easier handling.

            Optional – Crisp the Burrito: For a delightful crunch, wipe out the skillet and place the rolled burritos seam-side down. Cook them over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and crispy.

              Serve: Serve the burritos warm with a dollop of sour cream and a side of salsa if desired. Garnish with additional cilantro for a fresh touch.
