Ingredients
  

4 large eggs

1/4 cup milk

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 tablespoon olive oil or butter

1 cup cooked potatoes (diced or shredded, seasoned to your liking)

1 cup cooked breakfast sausage or bacon, chopped

1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your favorite)

1/2 cup diced bell peppers

1/4 cup diced onions

4 large flour tortillas (10-inch)

1/4 cup salsa or hot sauce (optional)

Fresh cilantro or green onions for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prep the Vegetables: Begin by chopping the bell peppers and onions. Set them aside.

    Whisk the Eggs: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined and slightly frothy.

      Cook the Vegetables: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil or butter over medium heat. Add the diced onions and bell peppers, cooking for about 3-4 minutes until softened.

        Add in the Potatoes and Meat: Stir in the cooked potatoes and sausage or bacon into the skillet with the vegetables. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, letting everything mix well and heat through.

          Scramble the Eggs: Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, stirring gently. Cook the eggs for about 5-7 minutes, or until they are set but still soft and creamy.

            Add Cheese: Once the eggs are cooked, sprinkle the shredded cheese over the top and turn off the heat. Allow it to melt into the mixture.

              Warm the Tortillas: Using a separate skillet or microwave, warm the flour tortillas so they are soft and pliable (about 10-15 seconds in the microwave covered with a damp paper towel works well).

                Assemble the Burritos: On each tortilla, spoon an equal portion of the egg mixture. Drizzle with salsa or hot sauce if desired, and then fold in the sides and roll up the burrito tightly.

                  Final Touch: Optionally, you can give the rolled burritos a quick crisp in the skillet by placing them seam-side down for about 1-2 minutes until golden brown.

                    Serve: Cut the burritos in half if desired, garnish with fresh cilantro or green onions, and enjoy your delicious breakfast burritos!
