Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Melt the Butter: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter until it bubbles gently. Reduce heat slightly.
  2. Scramble the Eggs: Crack 6 large eggs into a bowl and whisk them with garlic powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Pour this into the skillet and stir gently for about 4-5 minutes until fluffy.
  3. Prepare the Tortillas: Warm 4 flour tortillas in another skillet over low heat or in the microwave for about 20 seconds, keeping them covered.
  4. Fill the Tortillas: On each warmed tortilla, place ½ cup of scrambled eggs, ½ cup of potatoes, ¼ cup of cheddar cheese, and ¼ cup of bacon or sausage.
  5. Roll the Burritos: Fold in the sides of the tortilla and tightly roll it from the bottom up.
  6. Cook the Burritos: In the same skillet, add more butter if needed, and place the rolled burritos seam-side down. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until golden brown.
  7. Serve with Garnishes: Remove burritos from skillet and serve hot with sour cream and salsa.
