Sweet Potato Breakfast Burritos
Servings: 2 burritos
Ingredients
- 1 large sweet potato, peeled and diced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- ½ cup pepper jack cheeses, shredded
- ¼ cup green onions, sliced
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- ¼ cup milk
- ¼ cup green chiles
- 2 large tortillas (burrito sized)
- Salt and pepper
Instructions
- Heat up a large skillet over medium heat and add in the olive oil. Add the sweet potatoes allowing them to brown on each side, turning when a nice crust has formed. About 3-4 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- While the sweet potatoes are cooking, cut the cherry tomatoes in half and slice the green onions. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, crack the eggs and add the milk. Whisk together until the egg mixture is combined. Season with salt and pepper.
- Using the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat and add in the egg mixture. Scramble the eggs using a spatula and keep stirring as the eggs cook so that they become fluffy. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
- When the eggs are finished cooking, gently stir in the cherry tomatoes and green onions.
- Begin to assemble the burritos by adding half the sweet potatoes, half the eggs, half the cheese, and half the green chiles to each burrito down the middle. Fold in the shorter sides and then wrap the burrito lengthwise.
- Place the burritos seam side down on the same hot skillet, allowing each side to get golden brown. About 1-2 minutes per side. Remove from heat and cut each burrito in half. Sprinkle some cilantro and serve with a side of salsa.
Notes
- You can make a large batch of these and freeze them for up to one month and have easy breakfasts ready for you. Head them in a skillet over low heat, covered until the buttons are hot on the inside.
- Feel free to experiment with different vegetables in combination with the sweet potatoes. Other could options could be mushrooms, spinach, onions, broccoli. The options are endless.
- Any cheese could be good in these burritos including cheddar, provolone, and mozzarella. We like using pepper jack cheese.
- You can also use any side or dipping sauces you like best. We serve these with a side of salsa, but you can also use sour cream, guacamole, or your favorite hot sauce.
