Ingredients
- 2 Medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 Tsp Cumin
- 1 Tsp Chili powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 Can Black beans, drained and rinsed
- 4 Large eggs (optional, for added protein)
- 1 Tbsp Butter or oil (for cooking eggs)
- 4 Large whole wheat or gluten-free tortillas
- 1/2 Cup Shredded cheese (optional)
- 1/4 Cup Chopped cilantro
- 1 Avocado, sliced
- Salsa or hot sauce, for serving
- Lime wedges, for serving
Instructions
- Roast the Sweet Potatoes:Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the diced sweet potatoes with olive oil, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Spread them out on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes, or until they’re tender and slightly caramelized.
- Prepare the Black Beans:While the sweet potatoes are roasting, heat the black beans in a small pot over medium heat. Season with salt, pepper, and a dash of cumin. Stir occasionally and heat until warmed through. Set aside.
- Cook the Eggs (Optional):In a skillet, melt the butter or oil over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the skillet and scramble until cooked through, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Warm the Tortillas:Heat your tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side, just until pliable. You can also warm them in the microwave by wrapping them in a damp paper towel and heating for 20-30 seconds.
- Assemble the Burritos:Lay a warm tortilla flat on your work surface. Add a scoop of roasted sweet potatoes, a spoonful of black beans, scrambled eggs (if using), a sprinkle of cheese, cilantro, and avocado slices. Top with salsa or hot sauce if desired.
- Wrap it Up:Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it up tightly from one end to the other, tucking the sides as you go to create a burrito. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
- Serve and Enjoy:Serve your Sweet Potato and Black Bean Breakfast Burritos with a squeeze of lime and a little extra salsa or hot sauce on the side.
