Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat a 10-inch skillet over medium-high until a drop of water sizzles on contact, about 60 seconds.

  2. Step 2

    Add hash browns and cook without stirring for 2 minutes until the bottom browns, then stir and cook 1 minute more.

  3. Step 3

    Push hash browns aside, crack eggs into the skillet, scramble until whites set but yolks jiggle, ~90 sec.

  4. Step 4

    Sprinkle cheese over eggs and hash browns, let sit 30 seconds until it melts.

  5. Step 5

    Warm tortilla directly over the flame or in the skillet for 15 seconds per side until pliable.

  6. Step 6

    Slide the filling into the center of the tortilla, fold bottom and sides in, then roll tight and serve immediately.
