Add the red bell pepper, poblano, yellow onion and garlic to the cast iron and saute for another 5 minutes, tossing often. Set aside.
Soft Scrambled Eggs

In a small bowl, whisk together your eggs until they are well combined and yellow.

Heat a small non-stick pan over low heat, and add butter. Once the butter is melted, add your eggs. Let sit for 1–2 minutes, or until you can pull a ribbon of eggs from the bottom of the pan.
-
Add in cheese, salt and pepper, and toss constantly until the eggs are fully cooked but still soft.
-
Assemble your burritos by laying your flour tortillas flat, spreading any salsa or greek yogurt you want on the bottom and layering with Tilapia, eggs, skillet potatoes and avocado slices.
-
Roll into a burrito, and enjoy!
Recipe Notes
These burritos can be rather filling, so they can alternatively be cut in half and served with a side salad in order to easily serve six people.
