02 - 1 small red onion, diced
03 - 1 red bell pepper, diced
04 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
05 - 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
06 - 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

→ Cheese

13 - 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese or Monterey Jack

→ Tortillas

14 - 6 large 10-inch flour tortillas

# Preparation Steps:

01 - Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Toss sweet potatoes, red onion, and bell pepper with olive oil, smoked paprika, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Spread evenly on the baking sheet.
02 - Roast the vegetables for 25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until sweet potatoes are tender and lightly browned.
03 - While vegetables roast, whisk eggs with milk, salt, and pepper. Melt butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add eggs and cook, stirring gently, until just set and fluffy. Remove from heat.
04 - Warm tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable.
05 - On each tortilla, layer roasted vegetables, scrambled eggs, and a generous sprinkle of cheese.
06 - Fold the sides of each tortilla in and roll up tightly to enclose the filling.
07 - Wrap each burrito in foil or parchment paper, then place in a resealable freezer bag for storage.
08 - To reheat, unwrap burrito and microwave for 2–3 minutes until heated through, or bake wrapped in foil at 350°F for 20–25 minutes.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • They freeze beautifully and reheat in minutes, turning mornings from stressful to manageable.
  • The roasted sweet potatoes stay tender and slightly crispy, making every bite feel special without any fussing.
  • You'll feel genuinely nourished instead of just caffeinated, which changes how the whole day goes.
02 -
  • Don't crowd the vegetables on the baking sheet or they'll steam instead of roast; give them space and they'll brown beautifully.
  • Pull the eggs off the heat while they're still slightly underdone because they'll keep cooking from residual heat and stay fluffy instead of turning rubbery.
03 -
  • Thaw burritos overnight in the fridge if you have time in the morning; they'll reheat more gently and evenly.
  • Keep parchment paper between each burrito when stacking them in the freezer bag so they don't stick together.
