Ingredients
- 6 10-inch flour tortillas ๐ฏ
- 8 large eggs ๐ฅ
- 1/4 teaspoon salt ๐ง
- 1/4 teaspoon ground pepper ๐ถ๏ธ
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil ๐ข๏ธ
- 1 cup green chilies, diced ๐ถ๏ธ
- 1 cup Monterey Jack Pepper Cheese, shredded ๐ง
- 1/2 cup reduced-fat sour cream ๐ฆ
Instructions
-
Prepare the Tortillas: Begin by heating the tortillas to make them soft and pliable. Stack the tortillas in groups of 3 or 4, wrap them tightly in aluminum foil, and place them in a 300ยฐF (150ยฐC) oven for about 5 to 10 minutes. This will ensure they are warm and ready for filling. ๐ก๏ธ๐ฅ
-
Prepare the Eggs: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, salt, and ground pepper until well combined. The mixture should be slightly frothy to ensure fluffy scrambled eggs. ๐ณ๐ฅ
-
Cook the Eggs: Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a nonstick pan over medium-low heat. Add the diced green chilies to the pan and cook for about one minute, just until they release their aroma. Then, pour in the egg mixture. Cook the eggs slowly, stirring gently with a wooden spoon or heat-resistant spatula, for about 3 to 5 minutes. You want the eggs to be soft and slightly creamy. ๐ฅ๐ณ
-
Assemble the Burritos: Divide the cooked eggs evenly among the warm tortillas. Sprinkle each portion with approximately 2 tablespoons of shredded Monterey Jack Pepper Cheese. The cheese will melt slightly from the warmth of the eggs, adding a delicious, creamy texture to your burritos. ๐ง๐ฏ
-
Roll and Serve: Roll up each tortilla tightly to enclose the filling. If desired, you can lightly toast the burritos in a dry pan for a minute or two on each side to make them slightly crispy. Serve each burrito with a dollop of reduced-fat sour cream on the side and enjoy them alongside Black Bean and Tomato Salsa for a complete meal. ๐ฅ๐
