While the eggs are cooking, warm the flour tortillas. You can do this by heating them in a dry skillet over medium heat for 15-20 seconds per side, wrapping them in a damp paper towel and microwaving for 30 seconds, or wrapping in foil and warming in an oven at 250°F for 5-10 minutes.

Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then tightly roll it up from the bottom, creating a compact burrito. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and fillings.

Serve immediately, garnished with optional toppings like sliced avocado, a dollop of sour cream, a dash of hot sauce, or fresh chopped cilantro, if desired.
