  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and cilantro.
  2. In a medium skillet, heat the oil over medium heat, swirling to coat the bottom. Cook the poblano for 3 minutes, or until beginning to brown on the edges, stirring frequently. Stir in the corn and green onion. Reduce the heat to medium low and carefully pour the egg mixture over all. Cook, covered, for 10 minutes, or until the mixture is just set on the edge and is still a bit soft in the center (don’t overcook or it will become tough and rubbery). Remove from the heat.
  3. Sprinkle with the cheese. Cut into 8 wedges. Place 2 wedges on each plate. Top with the tomatoes and sour cream.
