Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup Onions, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon Butter or margarine
  • 6 Eggs, beaten
  • 1/2 cup Milk
  • 3/4 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon Hot pepper sauce
  • 2 cups Cooked rice
  • 1 medium Tomato, chopped
  • 1 can (4 oz) Chopped green chilies
  • 4 ounces Shredded Cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup Sliced green onions (for garnish)
Directions
  1. 1
    Melt butter in a 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add chopped onions and cook until tender, about 5 minutes.
