Joe's Famous Breakfast Tacos

2 to 4 potatoes chopped
4 eggs with milk and cheese
Kilbasa- (We like the spicy kind. Bacon works too.)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a pan, put olive oil and potatoes in to fry. Cut sausage into semi thin slicesand put in with potatoes. Add olive oil as needed. Fry until potatoes are soft.Scramble eggs with a little milk and cheese.Move potatoes and sausage to the side and add eggs. Fry to the way you like and as they are close to being done mix with potatoes and sausage until done. Remove from heat when done. Heat another pan and warm up 6 to 8 tortillas. Get 6 to 8 sheets of aluminum foil. Spoon or spread refried beans inside tortillas. Add potato, sausage, and egg mixture into tortillas and fold and put into aluminum foil and wrap then put onto a pan and into the oven for 15 to 30 minutes or until warm then eat.
