Ingredients
  

4 large eggs

4 small flour tortillas (8-inch)

1 cup fresh spinach, chopped

1/2 cup green bell pepper, diced

1/2 cup onion, diced

1/2 cup green chili peppers, diced (choose mild or hot based on your spice preference)

1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/4 cup sour cream

1 tablespoon olive oil

Salt and pepper, to taste

Fresh cilantro, for garnish (optional)

Salsa, for serving (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Vegetables: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onions and green bell peppers, sautéing for approximately 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften. Next, stir in the diced green chilies and sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

    Cook the Spinach: Add the chopped spinach to the skillet. Cook for about 1 minute, or until the spinach just wilts. Season the vegetable mixture with salt and pepper to enhance the flavors. Once done, remove the skillet from the heat and set it aside.

      Whisk the Eggs: In a separate bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them thoroughly until they are well combined. Add a pinch of salt and pepper to season the eggs.

        Scramble the Eggs: In a clean skillet, pour in the whisked eggs and cook over medium-low heat, gently stirring. When the eggs are around halfway set, fold in the sautéed vegetable mixture. Continue to cook until the eggs are fully set yet remain soft and fluffy.

          Add Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the egg and vegetable mixture. Cover the skillet with a lid and allow the cheese to melt for about 1 minute.

            Assemble the Burritos: Heat the flour tortillas in a separate skillet or microwave until they are warm and pliable. Place a generous scoop of the egg and vegetable mixture in the center of each tortilla. Add a dollop of sour cream on top.

              Wrap It Up: To form the burrito, fold in the sides of the tortilla and then roll from the bottom up, encasing the filling tightly. Repeat this step with the remaining tortillas.

                Final Toast (Optional): For an extra crispy tortilla, place the wrapped burritos seam-side down in the skillet over medium heat. Toast for about 2-3 minutes, or until they are golden brown on that side.

                  Serve: Slice the burritos in half, garnish with fresh cilantro if desired, and serve with salsa on the side for a delightful touch.
