Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Dice potato into 1/4-inch cubes. Heat 2 tbsp oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.

  2. Step 2

    Add potato cubes. Cook 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until edges are crispy and golden.

  3. Step 3

    Push potatoes to the side. Add remaining 1 tbsp oil to the empty space.

    Warm tortillas in a dry skillet or directly over a gas flame until pliable, ~30 seconds each.

  6. Step 6

    Divide potato-egg mixture among tortillas. Squeeze lime over top and season with salt and pepper.
