Directions

Melt butter in a 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add chopped onions and cook until tender, about 5 minutes.

-
Stir the cooked rice, chopped tomato, green chilies, and half of the shredded cheese into the egg mixture.
-
Pour the egg and rice mixture into the skillet with the cooked onions.
-
Reduce heat to medium-low. Cover the skillet and cook until the top is almost set but still slightly jiggly in the center, about 12 to 15 minutes.

Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese over the top. Cover and remove from heat. Let stand for 10 minutes to finish setting.
-
Garnish with sliced green onions before serving.
