A burrito is only as good as its parts, so real masa tortillas, good sausage, and a proper melting cheese matter more than any technique. The wrap is where it all comes together. Fold the sides in first, then roll tight over the filling so nothing spills and the seam seals against the pan's heat.

Flour or masa tortillas
Fresh, pliable tortillas from real masa fold without cracking.
Crisp the potatoesFry the diced potatoes in a little oil over medium-high heat, undisturbed at first, until browned and tender, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and set aside.
Brown the sausageCook the crumbled sausage in the same pan until no pink remains and the edges are browned, 6 to 8 minutes.
Soft-scramble the eggsLower the heat, add the beaten eggs, and stir slowly until just set but still glossy, about 3 minutes. Pull off the heat.
Warm the tortillasHeat each tortilla in a dry pan 20 seconds a side until soft and pliable so it rolls without tearing.
RollPile potatoes, sausage, eggs, and cheese down the center of each tortilla, fold the two sides in, then roll away from you into a tight cylinder. Sear the seam-side down in the pan for 30 seconds to seal.
