4. Roast for 30 minutes until golden brown. Start checking at 20 minutes.

Scrambled Eggs:

1. Whisk 12 eggs and 1/2 c milk in a bowl until well combined.
2. Heat a large skillet with nonstick cooking spray (or melt 1 Tbls butter) over medium heat.
3. Spray skillet and add egg mixture.
4. Cook eggs,stirring occasionally until eggs are set.
5. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

• Make sure to serve with fresh salsa.
