- Fold the bottom up to the center of the tortilla.
- Fold the left flap over to the center of the tortilla.
- Carefully, roll tortilla over to cover all the stuffing.
- Tuck the loose ends into the tortilla to keep all the filling ingredients inside the burrito.
- Roll in paper towels or waxed paper that’s been sprayed with cooking spray and microwave on high about 25-30 seconds for each burrito.
- Serve with salsa.
Notes
NOTE: To make sautéed veggies, use about 1 to 1 heaping tablespoon each of onions, mushrooms, tomatoes, and the four different bell peppers.
NOTE: Other options for veggies include shredded carrots, zucchini, yellow squash and corn.
NOTE: You must heat the tortillas before rolling or they will tear apart.
NOTE: If you don’t want to dirty up all the skillets, use one large one and fry potatoes first. When potatoes are almost done add all the veggies and sauté another 5 minutes or so until fork tender. Then add lightly beaten eggs and season the whole with salt and pepper. Scramble the eggs into the potatoes and veggies. Once the eggs are set, remove from heat and add cheese. Stir to combine.
