Ingredients
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon butter

½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon smoked paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
6 large eggs
¼ cup milk
½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
4 to 6 small flour tortillas
Optional toppings: sliced avocado, salsa, sour cream, chopped cilantro
Instructions
1. Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add potatoes, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook for 12–15 minutes until golden and tender.
2. In a bowl, whisk eggs and milk. Cook in a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat, stirring until fluffy and set.
3. Warm tortillas in a microwave or skillet until soft.
4. Assemble tacos with potatoes, scrambled eggs, and cheese. Add optional toppings as desired.

For crispy potatoes, let them cook undisturbed for a few minutes before flipping.
Customize with toppings like hot sauce, avocado, or chopped green onions.
