Ingredients
  

4 large eggs

½ cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

¼ cup canned green chilies, thoroughly drained and finely chopped

2 tablespoons milk

Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

1 tablespoon olive oil or butter

4 large flour tortillas

Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Salsa, for serving (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a medium mixing bowl, crack the eggs and pour in the milk, along with a pinch of salt and pepper. Whisk vigorously until the mixture is well combined and slightly frothy.

    Incorporate Green Chilies and Cheese: Carefully fold the chopped green chilies and shredded cheddar cheese into the egg mixture, ensuring they are evenly distributed but without overmixing.

      Heat the Pan: Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add olive oil or butter and allow it to warm until it shimmers or the butter is fully melted.

        Cook the Eggs: Pour the egg mixture into the heated pan. Gently stir with a spatula, allowing the eggs to cook evenly. As the edges begin to set (approximately 2-3 minutes), reduce the heat to low and continue cooking, stirring occasionally. This will achieve fluffy and creamy scrambled eggs—total cooking time should be about 5 minutes.

          Assemble the Wraps: Once the eggs are thoroughly cooked and creamy, remove the skillet from heat. In another skillet, gently warm the tortillas until they become pliable, about 30 seconds per side. Distribute the cheesy egg filling evenly among the warm tortillas.

            Wrap It Up: Fold the sides of each tortilla inward, then roll them tightly from the bottom to secure the filling inside.

              Optional - Toast the Wraps: If you desire a crispy exterior, return the wrapped tortillas to the skillet and toast each side for 1-2 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crunchy.

                Serve and Garnish: Cut the wraps in half for easier handling, sprinkle with chopped cilantro on top, and serve them alongside salsa for an added zesty kick.
