Instructions
Prep vegetables, beans, and eggs
1. *Dice the potatoes* into 1/2-inch pieces, *dice the bell peppers*, finish measuring the onion, rinse and drain the beans, and whisk the eggs with *1/4 teaspoon salt* and *black pepper*.
Cook the potatoes
2. Heat *1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil* in the large skillet over *medium-high heat*. Add the potatoes, cumin, and *1/2 teaspoon salt*; cook covered between stirs until *nearly tender*, about 8 minutes.
Add peppers, onion, and beans
3. Add the bell peppers and onion; cook uncovered until *the peppers soften* and *the potatoes are browned*, 4 minutes. Stir in the pinto beans until *heated through*, about 1 minute, then transfer the mixture to a bowl.
Scramble the eggs
4. Reduce the heat to *medium-low* and add the *remaining 1/2 tablespoon olive oil*. Pour in the eggs and *scramble gently* until *softly set*, 2 to 3 minutes.
Combine filling
5. Return the potato-bean mixture to the skillet and *fold together* until the eggs are evenly distributed and *no wet egg remains*, about 1 minute.
Warm the tortillas
6. Transfer the filling back to the bowl, wipe the skillet, and warm the tortillas over *medium heat* until *soft and pliable*, about 15 seconds per side.
Fill and roll burritos
7. Divide the egg filling, cheese, and salsa among the tortillas; *keep the filling centered* and *leave a 1-inch border*. Fold in the sides and *roll tightly* into burritos.
Toast burritos
8. Place burritos *seam side down* in the skillet and toast over *medium heat* until lightly browned, about 1 minute per side.
Cool, store, and reheat
