  1. Fry cubed potatoes in oil over medium-high heat until golden brown and crispy on all sides (about 8-10 minutes). Season with salt and set aside.
  2. Cook bacon strips in the same skillet over medium heat until edges are dark and caramelized. Drain on paper towels.
  3. Melt butter over medium-low heat. Pour in eggs whisked with cream. Fold gently until soft, bright yellow ribbons form. Remove from heat immediately.
Assembly & Finishing
  1. Place cheese, potatoes, eggs, and bacon on the center of each tortilla. Top with cracked black pepper. Fold in sides and roll tightly.
  2. Place burritos seam-side down in a hot skillet. Sear until distinct brown griddle marks appear on both sides and cheese is fully melted.
