4. Add slightly beaten eggs to sausage, potato and veggie mixture. Cook until the eggs are firm. Remove skillet or pan from heat.
5. Remove tortillas from the oven. Place each tortilla on a stable surface. Spoon about 2-3 tablespoons of the sausage, potato and egg mixture into the middle of the tortilla. Cover with a sprinkling of cheese. Add 1 tablespoon of picante sauce, if desired. Fold tortilla completely to avoid having the mixture fall out.
