Sweet potatoes and spicy chorizo make these breakfast burritos a perfect balance of flavors. Ideal for prepping ahead.
Ingredients:
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, scrubbed and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
  • 3 green onions, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 (14 ounce) package Mexican-style chorizo
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 8 eggs
  • 8 (10 inch) flour tortillas
  • 0.5 cup salsa
  • 1 (4 ounce) package queso fresco, crumbled
Instructions:
  • Preheat the oven to a toasty 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Spread sweet potatoes and green onions on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and evenly coat with garlic powder, salt, and pepper before tossing to combine.
  • Roast until tender in the preheated oven for approximately 25 minutes.
  • Cook chorizo in a medium skillet over medium-high heat, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon for 8 to 10 minutes until browned. Drain any excess fat and transfer chorizo to a bowl to cool. Wipe the skillet and place it back on the stove.
  • In a bowl, beat eggs until fluffy. Melt butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add beaten eggs and cook, stirring gently, until softly scrambled, about 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer scrambled eggs to a bowl and allow them to cool.
  • Arrange tortillas in a row. Spread chorizo evenly over the 8 tortillas. Add sweet potato-onion mixture, scrambled eggs, 1 tablespoon salsa, and queso fresco on top of each. Fold the bottom of each tortilla over the filling, then fold in the sides and roll up into burritos.
  • Place the burritos seam side-down, wrap each one in aluminum foil, and store them in a resealable plastic bag.
