Instructions:

Prepare Potatoes:

1. Wash and dry potatoes.
2. Prick holes in all sides of potatoes with a metal fork.
3. Microwave potatoes on a microwave-safe plate until fork tender but not falling apart (about 2-3 minutes).
4. Let potatoes cool slightly before dicing into bite-sized pieces.

Cook Potatoes:

1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add oil.
2. Add diced potatoes, paprika, granulated garlic, cumin, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat.
3. Press potatoes down in a single layer and cook for 3-4 minutes without touching.
4. Flip potatoes and cook on the other side until golden brown.

Make Eggs:

1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat with cooking spray or butter.
2. Beat eggs in a bowl and season with salt and pepper.
3. Add eggs to the hot pan and cook until scrambled to your desired doneness.

Assemble Tacos:

1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Heat corn tortillas on an open gas stove flame or in a skillet with cooking spray.
3. Place corn tortillas on a baking sheet and spread with refried beans.
4. Divide scrambled eggs equally between the tortillas.
5. Top with shredded cheese.
6. Bake in the oven until cheese is melted and tacos are heated through (about 10 minutes).

Optional additions:

• For extra flavor: Add pico de gallo, salsa, hot sauce, guacamole, avocado chunks, fresh cilantro, or lime juice.
• For a spicier kick: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper to the seasoning mix for the potatoes or eggs.
• For a vegetarian option: Use plant-based refried beans and vegan cheese.
