The sweetness from the sweet potatoes is the perfect complement to the spicy chorizo inside these make-ahead burritos. Store in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze. Take one out of the freezer and thaw in the fridge overnight for a quick breakfast.

Total Time: 50 mins
Servings: 8
Ingredients
- 2 medium sweet potatoes, scrubbed and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
- 3 green onions, chopped
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 (14 ounce) package Mexican-style chorizo
- 8 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 8 (10 inch) flour tortillas
- 8 tablespoons salsa
- 1 (4 ounce) package queso fresco, crumbled
Steps
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place sweet potatoes and green onions on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss to combine and spread out evenly.
- Roast in the preheated oven until soft, about 25 minutes.
- Meanwhile, cook chorizo in a medium skillet over medium-high heat, breaking apart with a wooden spoon, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain any excess fat; transfer chorizo to a bowl and set aside to cool. Wipe out the skillet and return it to the stove.
- Whisk eggs in a medium bowl until smooth. Heat butter in the skillet over medium-high heat. Pour in eggs and scramble until just set, 3 to 5 minutes. Scrape scrambled eggs into a clean bowl and let cool.
- Line up tortillas in assembly-line fashion. Divide chorizo between 8 tortillas. Top each with a portion of sweet potato-onion mixture, scrambled eggs, 1 tablespoon salsa, and queso fresco. Fold the bottom of each tortilla up over filling, then fold in both sides and roll up burritos.
- Flip burritos so they are seam-side down. Wrap each individually with aluminum foil and place into a resealable plastic bag.
