These are yummy!
I followed the recipe exactly except for substituting real eggs for the egg product. My whole family LOVED them! *tip - be sure to spray your veggies before adding the egg :-)

Yummy treat
My hubby loved it. Although I did play with it by omiting the salsa and milk, using a wheat instead of flour tortilla and using red instead of regular onion (my husband's preference). These were awesome!!!!!
