Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add diced potatoes and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender and lightly browned. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

  2. 2

    Add chopped onion and bell pepper to the skillet with the potatoes. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, until vegetables are softened.

  3. 3

    While potatoes and vegetables cook, whisk eggs with milk or cream, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl until well combined.

  4. 4

    Push the potato mixture to one side of the skillet. Pour the egg mixture into the empty side. Scramble the eggs gently until cooked through but still moist, about 2-3 minutes.

  5. 5

    Combine the scrambled eggs with the potato and vegetable mixture in the skillet. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until it's melted and well distributed.

  6. 6

    Warm the flour tortillas in a microwave for 15-20 seconds or in a dry skillet for 30 seconds per side, until pliable.

  7. 7

    Divide the egg and potato filling evenly among the warmed tortillas. Fold in the sides of each tortilla, then roll it up tightly to form a burrito. Serve immediately with salsa and sour cream, if desired.
