Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Make-Ahead Sweet Potato Breakfast Burritos.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 425°F (220°C).
Step 2
While the oven warms up, grab a baking sheet and spread out your sweet potato pieces.
Step 3
Drizzle them with a tablespoon of olive oil, then sprinkle on some salt and pepper.
Step 4
Give everything a good toss to ensure the sweet potatoes are evenly coated.
Step 5
Pop them in the oven and let them roast for about 15 to 20 minutes, or until they’re tender and beautifully browned.
Step 6
Once done, let them cool to room temperature, filling your kitchen with a delightful aroma.
Step 7
Next, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat.
Step 8
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk, adding a pinch of salt and pepper for flavor.
Step 9
Pour this egg mixture into the skillet and cook, stirring frequently with a rubber spatula.
Step 10
In just 2 to 3 minutes, you’ll see the eggs start to set.
Step 11
Sprinkle shredded cheese over the eggs and keep stirring until they’re fully cooked and no longer runny, which should take about another 3 minutes.
Step 12
Once they’re ready, remove the skillet from the heat and let the eggs cool to room temperature.
Step 13
To make your tortillas nice and pliable, wrap them in a dish cloth and give them a quick spin in the microwave for 30 seconds to 1 minute.
Step 14
Now it’s time to assemble your delicious burritos! Take a tortilla and spread about 1/4 cup of those roasted sweet potatoes down the center.
Step 15
Next, add 1/3 cup of scrambled eggs, followed by 1/4 cup of black beans, and if you’re feeling adventurous, 2 tablespoons of vegan chorizo.
Step 16
Drizzle 1 to 2 tablespoons of salsa verde over the top for that extra zing.
Step 17
Now, fold the left and right sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll it tightly from the bottom to create a burrito.
Step 18
Wrap each burrito snugly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil to keep them fresh.
Step 19
Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas.
Step 20
You can store these tasty burritos in the freezer for up to a month or in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Step 21
When you’re ready to enjoy your burrito, simply unwrap it and place it on a plate.
Step 22
Microwave it on high for 4 to 5 minutes until the filling is hot and the tortilla is tender.
Step 23
Serve it up immediately with your favorite hot sauce or salsa for an extra kick.
Step 24
If you’re reheating from the fridge, just pop it in the microwave for 1 ½ to 2 minutes.
Step 25
Enjoy your homemade burrito feast!.
