Method

Crisp the diced potatoes in a skillet with a little oil, then set aside.
Step 2
Whisk the eggs with salt and pepper. Melt the butter in the skillet over medium and softly scramble the eggs 3 minutes until just set.
Step 3
Warm the tortillas so they fold without cracking.
Step 4
Down the center of each tortilla, layer eggs, potatoes, cheese, meat, and salsa.
Step 5
Fold in the sides, then roll up tightly into a burrito.
Step 6
Toast seam-side down in a dry pan 2 minutes per side to seal, then serve.

Cook's tips

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
Taste and adjust the seasoning right before serving -- salt levels vary a lot between brands of broth, sauce, and canned goods.
Prep all the ingredients before you start cooking; this one moves quickly once it is on the heat.
