Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Roast the Potatoes

1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Toss diced potatoes with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
3. Spread on a baking sheet in a single layer.
4. Roast for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.

Step 2: Sauté the Veggies

1. While potatoes cook, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
2. Add bell peppers and onions, sautéing for 3–4 minutes.
3. Stir in black beans, corn, and cumin. Cook another 2–3 minutes until warmed through.
4. Set aside.

Step 3: Scramble the Eggs

1. In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper.
2. Heat butter or oil in a nonstick pan over medium-low heat.
3. Pour in the eggs and gently stir until just set and fluffy.
4. Remove from heat immediately to avoid overcooking.

Step 4: Assemble the Burrito Bowls

1. Divide roasted potatoes among bowls.
2. Add a scoop of scrambled eggs and the veggie mixture.
3. Top with shredded cheese, avocado, salsa, and sour cream.
4. Sprinkle with fresh cilantro and add a lime wedge on the side.
5. Drizzle with hot sauce if you like it spicy.
