Ingredients

• 8 eggs
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 green onions, chopped
• 8 (10 inch) flour tortillas
• 2 medium sweet potatoes, scrubbed and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
• 1 (14 ounce) package Mexican-style chorizo
• 1 (4 ounce) package queso fresco, crumbled
• 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 cup salsa

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Place sweet potatoes and green onions on the baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss to combine and spread out evenly.

Step 3

Roast in the preheated oven until soft, about 25 minutes.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Whisk eggs in a bowl. Heat butter in the skillet over medium-high heat. Pour in eggs and scramble until just set, 3 to 5 minutes. Scrape eggs into a bowl and let cool.

Step 6

Line up tortillas in assembly-line fashion. Divide chorizo between the 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 the filling, then fold in both sides and roll up burritos.

Step 7

Flip burritos so they are seam side-down. Wrap each individually with aluminum foil and place into a resealable plastic bag.
