Instructions

Prepare potatoes:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Spray a large baking pan with nonstick spray.

  • Bake until potatoes are cooked through, about 10 to 15 minutes more.
  • Remove from oven; season with additional salt, if desired. Set aside.

Prepare eggs:

  • Add eggs to a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper, then beat until frothy.
  • As soon as potatoes are done, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  • Chop roasted jalapeno, discarding seeds, stem, and any skin that is peeling off.
  • Add eggs and jalapeno to skillet; cook until eggs are scrambled, stirring frequently. Remove from heat.

Assemble burritos:

  • Place a tortilla on a large plate; microwave for 10 to 15 seconds, or until warm.
  • Top tortilla with ¼ of the eggs, cheese, and potatoes.
  • Fold tortilla around filling. Repeat process with remaining ingredients to make 4 burritos.
  • Serve burritos with salsa or hot sauce, if desired.

Notes

If you have any leftovers, assemble burritos, then refrigerate in an airtight container. When ready to eat, wrap burrito in a paper towel, then microwave for one minute or until hot.
