05 - In a separate pan, scramble eggs until cooked through if using.
06 - Heat tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until soft and pliable.
07 - Divide roasted vegetables, black beans, and scrambled eggs (if used) evenly among tortillas. Top with shredded cheddar cheese, salsa, and chopped cilantro as desired.
