  2. Stir in the potato, onion, and 2/3 cup water.

  3. Lower heat to medium and cook, covered, stirring occasionally, and adding a little water if necessary to prevent sticking.

  5. Use a potato masher or fork and mash the sausage-potato mixture slightly right in the pan.

  6. Stir in the tomato; season to taste with salt and pepper.

  7. Warm the tortillas.
