- CHOPPED AND SCRAMBLED: Prep the veggies by chopping the onion and dicing the bell pepper. Then beat the eggs, add them to a hot pan, and scramble. Set them aside.

- ASSEMBLE AND WRAP: Fill the tortilla with the chicken mixture, and add the eggs and cheese. Roll halfway then fold the two sides in, and roll until you reach the end. Continue the process with the rest of the chicken filling and the remaining tortillas.
- FRY: Heat a skillet or wide pan with oil over medium-high heat. Cook the burritos in batches. Make sure to place them seam-side down to avoid opening. Flip all sides for even browning. Serve warm
