Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Sweet Potato Chorizo Breakfast Burritos for Meal Prep.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 400°F (200°C) and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper to make cleanup a breeze.
Step 2
Next, spread the sweet potatoes and chopped green onions evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 3
Drizzle a generous amount of olive oil over the top, then sprinkle on garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Step 4
Give everything a good toss to ensure each piece is well-coated, and then arrange them in a single layer for even roasting.
Step 5
Pop the baking sheet into the oven and let the sweet potatoes roast for about 25 minutes, or until they’re tender and deliciously caramelized.
Step 6
While those sweet potatoes are working their magic, grab a medium skillet and cook the chorizo over medium-high heat.
Step 7
Use a wooden spoon to break it apart as it cooks, letting it sizzle for about 8 to 10 minutes until it’s beautifully browned.
Step 8
Once it’s done, drain any excess fat and transfer the chorizo to a bowl to cool.
Step 9
Wipe out the skillet to get rid of any leftover bits, then return it to the heat.
Step 10
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs until they’re well combined.
Step 11
Melt some butter in the skillet over medium-high heat, then pour in the eggs.
Step 12
Scramble them gently, cooking for about 3 to 5 minutes until they’re just set but still soft.
Step 13
Once done, transfer the scrambled eggs to a bowl to cool.
Step 14
Now it’s time to assemble your burritos! Lay out your tortillas in a neat assembly line.
Step 15
Start by dividing the cooked chorizo among the eight tortillas, then add a generous scoop of the roasted sweet potato and green onion mixture on top.
Step 16
Follow that with a portion of the fluffy scrambled eggs, a tablespoon of salsa for a zesty kick, and a sprinkle of crumbled queso fresco to bring it all together.
Step 17
To wrap your burritos, fold the bottom of each tortilla up over the filling, tuck in the sides, and roll them up tightly to secure all that deliciousness inside.
Step 18
Once wrapped, place the burritos seam-side down and individually wrap each one in aluminum foil.
Step 19
For easy access later, store them in a resealable plastic bag.
Step 20
Now you have a batch of scrumptious burritos ready to enjoy anytime!.
