Instructions

  1. 1

    In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk or cream, salt, and pepper until well combined.

  2. 2

    Heat butter or oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Pour in the egg mixture.

  3. 3

    As the eggs begin to set, gently push them from the edges towards the center with a spatula. Continue to cook and fold until the eggs are mostly set but still slightly moist.

  4. 4

    While the eggs are cooking, warm the tortillas. You can do this in a dry skillet for 30 seconds per side, in the microwave for 15-20 seconds, or directly over a gas flame for a few seconds until pliable.

  5. 5

    Lay each warm tortilla flat. Divide the scrambled eggs evenly between the two tortillas, placing them slightly off-center. Sprinkle half of the shredded cheese over the eggs on each tortilla. If using, add a tablespoon of salsa to each.

  6. 6

    Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then tightly roll it up from the bottom to create a burrito. Serve immediately.
