  6. Warm the Tortillas:
  7. Warm the tortillas in a skillet or microwave to make them pliable.
  8. Assemble the Burritos:
  9. Lay a tortilla flat and add a portion of scrambled eggs, meat, potatoes, and sautéed vegetables. Sprinkle with cheese and drizzle with salsa, if desired.
  10. Roll the Burritos:
  11. Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it tightly into a burrito shape.
  12. Serve or Store:
  13. Serve fresh: Enjoy immediately while warm.
  14. Meal prep: Wrap each burrito in foil or parchment paper and store in the fridge for up to 4 days. For longer storage, freeze for up to 3 months.
  15. Reheat:
  16. From the fridge: Heat in the microwave for 1-2 minutes.
