- Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add potatoes and peppers and a big pinch of salt and pepper. Cook until tender.
- Slowly, pour the eggs into a skillet and stir until the eggs are cooked, then remove from heat.
- Lay out tortillas (if tortilla isn’t pliable, microwave with damp paper towel for 10 seconds)

Notes:
REHEATING OPTONS:
Option 1 Thaw overnight:
Thaw burrito(’s) overnight in the fridge:
After thawing them pop them into a microwave for 1 minute. Alternatively, use a panini maker or air fryer for added crunch.
Option 2: Reheat from frozen:
Unwrap burrito and wrap in a damp paper towel. Place in microwave and heat for 2-3 minutes, flipping over halfway, until heated through.
(All microwaves are different but in general, two or three minutes is all a frozen burrito needs to be warmed through. Turn over halfway through. NOTE: Test your microwave by checking every 30 seconds to see if it’s warm in the center. Once you know the amount of time you need, jot it on this recipe and enjoy! You may want them to cool off a minute because they can get hot!
