Steps

  1. Dice the potatoes small so they cook quickly. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high, add the potatoes with a little salt, and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and tender, about 10 minutes.
  2. Push the potatoes to one side and add the onion. Cook 2 minutes until softened, then stir in the cumin and smoked paprika and let them bloom for 30 seconds.
  3. Whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt. Turn the heat down to medium, pour them in, and stir gently until just set but still soft, about 2 minutes. Stir in the drained beans and warm through.
  4. Take the pan off the heat and scatter the cheese over the top, stirring until it melts into the eggs.
  5. Warm the tortillas for a few seconds so they fold without cracking. Spoon a line of filling down the center of each, leaving the ends clear.
  6. Fold in the two ends, then roll up tightly from the bottom into a snug burrito.
  7. Eat right away, or wrap each one in foil or parchment and freeze. To reheat from frozen, microwave 2 to 3 minutes or bake at 375F for about 20 minutes.
