- 4 eggs
- Cup milk

How to Make It
- In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Cook the pepper and scallions, stirring frequently, for 5 minutes, or until tender. In a small bowl, whisk the eggs and milk. Pour into the skillet and add ¼ cup of the cheese. Cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture is scrambled and the eggs are cooked through but still moist. Cover and set aside.

Add half of the egg mixture, sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of cheese, and top with a second tortilla. Cook for 2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted. Turn over and cook for 1 minute. Repeat.
