Cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Others

Instructions
- Sauté the vegetables: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced red and green bell peppers, red onion, and zucchini. Cook for 5 to 6 minutes until the vegetables soften, stirring occasionally.

- Prepare the egg mixture: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Cook the eggs with vegetables: Pour the egg mixture into the skillet with the vegetables. Stir gently and cook over medium heat until the eggs are fully cooked and scrambled through.
- Add cheese: Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese evenly over the eggs and vegetables. Allow the cheese to melt slightly.
- Warm tortillas: Warm the flour tortillas slightly on the stovetop or in the microwave to make them pliable.
- Assemble the burritos: Divide the egg and vegetable mixture evenly among the tortillas. Fold in the sides and roll each tortilla tightly into a burrito.
- Serve or store: Serve immediately or wrap each burrito in foil for later. Store in the refrigerator or freezer and reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.
